Has anyone taken on line course "NSCBN"?

Published

Hi all. We were wondering if NCSBN on line course would be worth taking for a review? Could someone please give us some feed back on this course? Interested in purchasing.

shockable_rhythm..... so the Qbank is really good? Can you tell us bout how many questions we can practice and if the rationales pretty good in comparison with Saunders?

I did use NCSBN online review (3 weeks only since I fell short in my studying schedule). It helped me a lot especially the question bank and also agree with others that the course content was a bit short though. Nevertheless, the course helped me pass the exam in 1 take & at 75 questions!

Ok I passed my boards now I feel qualified to answer your questions, (:. The NCSBN online has about 1200 questions. I found it helpful but probably could have gotten by without it. NCSBN has more difficult questions than Saunders. I have not seen any mistakes, however the NCSBN rationales are hit or miss. Most explanations will say why one answer is right but won't say why the other answers are wrong. That's frustrating when you have two answers that could be right. Saunders rationales are way better.

The review content is OK if you don't mind reviewing online. There are many links to online sources and some pictures. I preferred to study content from Saunders however.
