I Didnt Quite Make It, Need Resources

Published

I have taken the boards last month and was down in the dumps since I got THAT letter. I am trying to start all over and this time I am so disappointed that it gives me more drive to pass.

I have used Saunders before but was not able to finish the entirety since I ran out of time.I also had the La Charity book which I never opened because I was more focused on the other book. Now I no longer have the Saunders book since I just borrowed it and now the owner needs it. I have a minimum wage job that gives me 10 hours a week, with 3 kids and this totally makes it harder to have to retake the test. Mu husband is a student and we live with my in laws and its really hard to have to live with them. But I know that these sacrifices will be fruitful and I will be who I want to be in the future. The stories here inspire me to do more and be more.

Which books will help me in taking it the second time?

Thank you guys and to those who are still on the verge of that dream, hang in there. We know we all can do it.

Hi Dez150.. Are you serious? It would be great if you could at least lend me your book. I will totally appreciate that. I didnt buy that book yet eventhough I have her card cause Im still looking for ways to get it myself. Thank you. Thank you so much!

Hi almostfamous:),

I was just on half .com and you can buy the Saunders 4th Ed. new for $32.84 which is the cheapest I've seen it. Here's the website http://product.half.ebay.com/Saunders-Comprehensive-Review-for-the-NCLEX-RN-Examination-by-Linda-Anne-Silvestri-2007_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ60530728. This will be a great investment and you will get lots of use out of it but make sure you're getting the CD with it.

Hi almostfamous,:)

The Saunder's book 4th Ed. has a wealth of information in it as well as the CD with the latest questions on it. I personally like how this book is in color, includes the nursing interventions, medications are after the chapter you are studying. It's more user friendly than the 3rd ed. and you have practice questions after every chapter and the answers right after that explaining the rationale. You have to get a very strict study schedule when you feel you're ready, stick to it and I would allow at least 3 months because the worst thing is to take the NCLEX-RN before you feel you're ready. After Thursday of this week, I'll PM you and chat with you. :redpinkhe If you need to chat you may PM me because I would be glad to chat. YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU WILL BE AN RN! Start posting this around your house so you can read this and believe in yourself. The more questions you do and allow time for your review you are learning. You'll be surprised, the way you need to think for the NCLEX-RN will be implanted into your way of thinking. Another suggestion to help with Priority questions is the Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment Book by Linda LaCharity ISBN#9780323044073 which was $24.95 new at Barnes & Noble so on half.com or Amazon.com you should be able to get it cheaper. Make sure when you study you get out of the house and go to the library for uninterrupted study which I would commit to 7 days a week but do what right for yourself. You'll be surprised what you can get done in 3 hours if you're not interrupted. I went to the library and took a lunch, water and studied in a study room. GOOD LUCK!:up:

@ Determinedgal1.. Thank you for lifting me up which is so much helpful at this point. I appreciate you taking the time to give me tips and ideas about this new Saunders book. Is the book your suggesting the Comprehensive Review or Q&A? Thank you so so much for the kind words. Despite being strangers, you are trying to reach out to me which is super wonderful. I truly would want to pass the second time I take it because I feel for my kids. Living in someone elses house makes them inferior as well because they could not run around and make noises like normal kids do. They are always told not to.

@Dez5150.. Thank you again for your generosity. I took the NCLEX-RN exam and I am taking it again hopefully soon. If its not too much, please tell me when or how you can send it so I can at least pay for postage. Thank you. I need all the luck I can get. May God bless you more for doing good deeds to others. I have made a vow to also help others when time has come for me to be able to do the same. People like you inspire people. I hope you do not get tired of that wonderful deed. I cannot say thank you enough.
