Iam new to allnurses.com and I graduated this year in Canada. I have been reading posts since July 2008 and I just found out that I failed the NCLEX the second time, I decided it was time for me to join and get some help.
Both times I took the NCLEX, I answered 75 questions which is telling me that I really have to change the way I am studying.
So here's how I prepared for both times:
The first time I prepared for the NCLEX, I answered all of the questions from NCLEX 3000 and I read the Kaplan's strategies for the exam. I also took a month review course from a Canadian recruiting agency which basically covered certain topics for the exam. I was preparing for about 2.5 months.
The second time I prepared I decided to do questions from the NCLEX CRAM CD and I also read Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment by Linda LaCharity. I decided not to overwhelm myself as much so I only prepared for about a month.
I feel that Iam comfortable with test taking strategies but that I need more review regarding the content. Both times I prepared for the NCLEX, I just answered and answered questions.
I have read numerous posts on Suzanne's Plan and I am wondering if that is the best way to go for reviewing content?? Right now I am debating if I should go along with Suzanne's Plan and the Saunder's book or if I should purchase the Kaplan Q-Bank!!! And also Iam wondering how long does it take to complete Suzanne's Plan??
I am determined to work in the U.S. some day so please help because I am not giving up.
