what is the difference between HAAD RN exam and NCLEX RN exam?

Updated:   Published

HI GUYS!

I am going to take HAAD RN exam soon..my problem is I don't have any idea what scope and type of questions they will give and what review materials will I use to prepare. All I know is a computer based exam like NCLEX....can you please help me please.......

this is my first time to hear about HAAD exam. i asked my friend who is working in Saudi Arabia and she said, you can use NCLEX-RN review materials. unlike the NCLEX where you can't skip a question, you can do so with HAAD. and just answer it later. and the exam is not that difficult. mostly basic nursing knowledge. its a bonus factor that you will know your results immediately after!

All the best to the nurse exam takers!

But I do not know where to send application for exam and where could i found the form, I checked the HAAD website but to no avail. Can you please inform me I could download the application for the said exam. I already had pearson account and about to schedule an exam but I do not have any eligibility nor application from HAAD.

Your response will be highly appreciated. thanks

i'm a dialysis nurse in the Philippines for 2 years. i heard that in order to get the HAAD license/ or to take the HAAD exam you should acquire a year of experience in Medical Surgical ward. is that true? or my experience as a dialysis nurse would be enough? im working at a dialysis center in the Philippines. but not in a tertiary hospital setting. is that enough to count as my experience?

to joywieb according to my agency because i ask that also with same question,yes there is an expiration for the HAAD certificate only for 3 years.I took my HAAD last feb 7 2011,just like others its not that easy and not that so hard..just inbetween.most of my questions that i encountered are:

1.DM

2.diabetis insipidus

3.drug computation..D/s...and IV computation,some convertion like morphine mcg to mg.

4.handling of narcotic drugs like pethidine.sample question is..how you dispose the pethidine.?ans.dispose the remaining drugs in the sink by two nurses.two bec.the other nurse is witness that you dispose the medicine.

5.different cultural belief.like how the muslim people buried the dead?

6.post-op position...like post op renal biopsy.

7.MI

8.psychiatric therapeutic response

9.cataract

10.fundamental of nursing

11.normal values you must know

12.obstetric and gynecology

thats all i remebered some of the HAAD questions...i recommend you to study Q and A of mosby or saunders reviewer if you have cd much better.and use also the ABC of Mr.Gapus,just read it for 2 weeks.plus pray, ask to GOD that you need to pass the HAAD-RN.
