hi guys..

Such a relief! Last year I took NCLEX-RN and after 184 questions computer decided that he doesn't like me anymore and sent me home...I felt bad, I had bad feelings and after few days I found out I didn't pass:crying2:. I was devastated. I am foreign educated nurse, english is my second language. I were studying a lot before my first try but didn't make it. I was the worse complainer on this site about this whole idea of NCLEX.

I gave myself a year..without rush, stress. I knew that I have to sit down, cry and study even harder. I enrolled for Kaplan for international nurses. Expensive, but good. I purchased another book Saunders and Prioritization...by Linda LaCharity.

Now I had about 10 nursing books. Right before exam I also enrolled for Anderson review class. It is a week of "positive brain wash" preparation for an exam but only I think available in Massachusetts.

That's the "basic" material for an exam. I was going in bad direction before. I studied material that is not required on NCLEX-RN.

I studied tons of medical material that nobody is asking about. :banghead:

The most important thing is prioritization, delegation, assignment, labs and pharm. Infection control will be your second name-if they will wake you up in the middle of the night you have to know the answer right away.Plus material from Saunders and you should be ok.

Good luck to all of you. :wink2:
