Finished pre-reqs now have questions - please help!

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

So I'm a week away from finishing my pre-req's. I'd like to next start on studying for my core nursing classes. But I'm a little confused as to what the next step is.

1) How do I know which books I need for which exams? For instance, I want to start with the Transitions to RN class...but the online bookstore is telling me that I need Fundamentals of Nursing and Med-Surg textbooks?? Am I supposed to read both of those and then take the Transitions exam? I don't understand...

2) I've read people on here talking about using study guides for each of the exams - where do you get those?

I am so sorry in advance for being so clueless - someone please point me in the right direction!!

Are you enrolled? If so download the exam content guides for the nursing exams. These are your syllabus to prepare for the exams including recommended reading, journal articles available from the school library and practice exam questions with rationale. If you are not enrolled you can pull the content guide for the health and safety exam to start
