hello..i was just wonderin..if someone here took NCSBN review already? im just really confused right now and i feel like i dont want to waste one more day just browsing on which review course is really effective..i have checked NCSBN before but never really able to try it...their course catalogue is kind of weird...i was trying to order some of their programs/products (even before) but i'm always left with errors on page and so cant go through...i hope to get some feedbacks and help from anybody who has tried this NCSBN before (or even just thought to try it) on how you get hold of it. thank you for the time..

Hi. I actually never tried the NCSBN review. I've heard from other people it's a really good program to go through. I met a lady at a job fair last month, and she told me that instead of paying for Kaplan she used this course. According to her, the questions on the NCLEX were very similar to the ones in NCSBN. She actually passed NCLEX using this course.
If NCSBN, the association of nursing boards, is making a review course then you gotta think that you'd get a pretty good review of the NCLEX.
Also, if you'd like another option...you could try the Comprehensive NCLEX-RN Review by Mary Ann Hogan. This book is part of the Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales series. It only costs $37, and the questions in the book and the CD-ROM are top notch. Plus, it's easy to access. I especially liked the 25 question quizzes in the CD. Using this book/CD and Saunders 4th ed really helped me pass NCLEX the first time.

Most recommend using Suzanne's plan. You will need the Saunders review book and can read about her plan in the stickies at the top of this forum. Except for the review book, her method is free. Good luck.
i decided to stick with suzanne's plan...^_^

I'm using NCSBN right now and I like it. I purchased the 3 week course, and have mostly been answering questions from the q-banks. I also did the online kaplan course and thought it was really helpful, just expensive. Hopefully, I'll pass the NCLEX this time around having taken both courses!
oic..well God bless you and wishin you all the best...we can do this by God's grace!^_^
