Discouragement

Why do some of you say this, no test/review could prepare you for the nclex. This is such a discouragement! If this was the case, how do people actually pass the nclex?

If no review could prepare us for the real exam then what am i doing waisting my time doing questions on Saunders. =(

Let me clarify this to you, what people mean is that there is not review that will prepare you for the test, the best way to pass this test is to learn and understand the strategies (like Kaplan, which I strongly recommend) and practice, practice, practice questions using the strategies and reading the rationals.

In the sense of reviewing all nursing school content, impossible. I used kaplan Q-bank and practice around 1400 questions, and passed at 75 in less than 2 hours

Oh man, so many people have said positive things about Kaplan. It's too expensive and i could never afford it.

Think about how much money you spent in your nursing career, and Kaplan Q-bank is only $299 for 3 month access more than 1000 questions, and the book you can find it over Ebay very cheap, in fact I'm selling mine there with the medication box, and is still like new!

Is extra $299 a lot when comparing to the cost of the nursing program, and the big chances to pass Nclex RN the firs time?:doh:

That is if you do the entire program, but I don't think that is neccessary. The Q-bank is only $299 for 1000 questions.

I think with that you'll be ok, plus the cost of the book

This is for the Practical Nurse license, are you taking the LPN or the RN?

LPN

LPN

That's ok. Then it is only $109. But the book is the same for the LPN and the RN as far as content, it changes only on the test. The explanations are the same and if you are planning to become an RN then is better to buy the RN one instead.

BTW I did Kaplan PN Q-bank too, and passed at 85 questions last year when I got my LPN license

Ya, $109 is pretty good price. I am going to purchase it and give it a shot.

I just have a fear of not passing the exam the first time. Thanks for all of your help.
