U might as well enroll at a review center. if ur in the visayas regions, i highly recommend NG Review and Training Center. They offer comprehensive review. For your review books, i recommend kaplan, saunders 3rd ed and of course the cg guide...

Unless you are going to work in a state that requires the exam, why are you even wasting your time taking it? It does not give you a license to practice in the US, and the more reputable companies want to see a passing score on the NCLEX exam, or you may find yourself working as a nursing asst over here for months and months and months.

Yah I agree. If the state you're applying for doesn't reuire CGFNS, take the NCLEX-RN. It's the "U.S. licensure exam for nurses".

It's time-saving/ affordable to take JUST the NCLEX-RN. Some just take the CGFNS so that they may have a taste of what the NCLEX is supposed to be like. In my opinion, the 2 exams are only 50% similar. NCLEX focuses on prioritization/ delegation of responsibilities/ application. CGFNS focuses more on "knowledge" of Nursing. My CGFNS result stated that I should study harder and esp. more on certain topics that have fallen below the ideal grade. Hah! So why did I pass the NCLEX RN Duh!

My recommended books:

KAPLAN +CD's

SAUNDERS +CD's

MOSBY +CD's

...nothing follows

Local review books like GApuz are good for last minute review but be careful of typographical errors and obvious errors (ive seen quite a few)

CGFNS guide + CD's(a staple if youre taking the CG)... Some questions from the book do come out.

All towards up Pinoys!!!
