How should I study?

Published

Hello everyone! I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm going to ask it again. ;) This is my situation--I'm in a two year RN program and will be graduating in May (hopefully). My problem is that I feel like I'm forgetting everything. All of my classes have been so fast and furious that I'm afraid I've just crammed things into my short term memory and those things won't be there when I need them (NCLEX). I've actually done really well on my tests and I am pretty good at answering the critically thinking type of questions we are asked, but I haven't actually read the required chapters. I've probably read 5 chapters in the past two years! Anyway, one of my instructors told us that like 65% of NCLEX questions will be over Med-Surg, so I decided I would try to read my Med-Surg book between now and graduation. I worked out a schedule for reading and I am now completely overwhelmed! (I know, I know. I should have read those chapters when they were assigned!) So, I guess this is my question. (Sorry I've taken so long to get to it. lol) If I buy Saunders NCLEX review book will it give me the info. I need? Or will it be too summerized? Should I go back to my original plan and read all those chapters? Any help or advise offered would be appreciated! Thanks!

BTW- I will be taking the Kaplan review twice before taking the NCLEX. I'm hoping this will also help me a lot. (It's required by my school and then my employer will also be offering it.)

For me Saunders is a good review book. They have every content of nursing that u would want to focus on. They explain the rationale very well for right and wrong answer. I was like u when i first take my board exam, dont know if i should read the whole book just to understand nursing.. But ehhhh too much info that when i encounter questions? WHATs that disease aGAIN?

I realized to get a review book that will really explain u well why its like this or like that? As a foreign student, with simple words, detailed explanation of Saunders.. It can't go u wrong.... I am happy to be able to score 94% when i answer questions Now as i reviewin for my 2nd NCLEX and LAst one, In Gods Name. I will pass NCLEX RN in May 3...AS In MEEEE??? I wasn't like this before.... AND SAunders HELP me alots........
