Are you not confident in the content that you learned in your nursing courses? Its best to build on knowledge over time rather than try to cram an entire nursing education into a few weeks time. My cirriculum was progresive (each unit built upon the previous) so I was rather comfortable in my content knowledge which in turn helped me prepare for perfect universe NCLEX style questions,

@JustBeachyNurse

I'm not very confident as I have forgotten some information about various nursing school topics. I feel like I need to see all those info again. So i use Saunders 5th edition to look over most topics, esp. Peds, OB and Pharm

Hi leanjess,

I am doing exam cram pn and I start with 205 questions at a time first since that's what I will do or less on nclex.

The answers I don't understand or get wrong I write it down if its drugs or diet or a word I didn't know or forgot the meaning.

Yes, I do write down information down and study it later before bedtime. I've been studying like crazy for hours and doing cd of exam cram plus saundars....I am starting to get headaches from all the pressure and stress. Plus my daughter is home from summer school so its stressful to balance time with her age 6 and studying plus hubby. God please help me pass nclex-pn~

You should know about salycylate poisioning too.

[leanjess]

@tachycardia33

Tell me about it: I started having some heart palpitations or whatever bcos of thinking too much about NCLEX! I'm just trying my humanly best..sometimes my body and brain are just too wasted to retain anything. But after taking a rest, I feel so guilty for wasting time on that instead of reading! Oh! I wish NCBSN knew the problems they make ex-nursing students pass thru..all in the name of Boards! I'm pretty sure I'm already pre-hypertensive from all this stress and worry!

[Assess&Safety1st, BSN, RN]

leanjess,

i think my problem is contents honestly. i'm reading saundars and i like the content how its is broken down for me....how is the ncbsn learningext review? i plan to do that in july. how many weeks did you do with learningext review?

[Assess&Safety1st, BSN, RN]

Jollymom, can you tell me about salycylate poisoning, please?

[Assess&Safety1st, BSN, RN]

Me, too, I thought I was having chest pain because of the studying and balance of life. So many books, cds, reviews its insane

[leanjess]

Well, I plan to test on the 16th of July. But I bought 5 weeks of NCBSN learningext review. So far so good. It's a nice review, their questions are hard though..makes me think. Which I hope will help me in the end.

Same here, my problem is content too! Some things you just can't know without actually having the knowledge base..I don't even know anymore. I might change my date if I don't feel ready at the end of this remaining period. I'm trying to just stick to one or two books, I feel so overwhelmed with thousands of books...It's insane indeed!

I believe the antidote/treatment for malignant hyperthermia is iv dantrium and iv sodium bicarb is common for salicylate poisoning.
