Anyone use picmonics?

Trying to see if this is going to be worth my $30. Thinking of using this in conjunction with UWorld and NCBSN. All reviews welcome!! Thanks..

I think Picmonic is wonderful. I used the "doctor level" Picmonic, as my husband was a medical student while I was studying for the NCLEX, so I don't know how different the "nursing level" would be, but I found they did a fantastic job of making dry, unrelated pieces of information stick. As you probably know, they use ridiculous, cheesy pictures to make the facts memorable, but I found it to be an exceptionally effective way to make concepts stick. I suspect it would be helpful in terms of knowledge acquisition, but probably won't do much to help you practice NCLEX type questions. You might not need that though, since you have other resources available.

it's mostly content, but it is helping remember stuff so far. The recommend you use it in conjunction with a Qbank, so that's what I'm doing.

While I use free areas of Picmonic, I see it more as a memory tool (like flashcards). Critical thinking is required to pass the boards; and just memory tools... meh... I would stick with uWorld.
