connie1945Re: I PASSSSSSSSSSSSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absolutely!!! -- My school offered a week long Kaplan class, so I took that and then did the QBank and Question trainers, along with studying Saunders 4th Edition. Saunders is a-w-e-s-o-m-e for content review. I started with my weakest areas first, which were peds and maternity. I would do the questions at the end of each chapter, and if I got a 75% or higher on each section I would just quickly review that chapter (esp. things I were a little weak in) and then move on. the chapters in saunders that broke down the drugs were GREAT. really really good. (the questions in saunders are too easy to just study alone for the NCLEX, but they do give you a good standing as to what you know and what you need to go over!!!)
I also bought the 3 week NCSBN review because I heard it was like the NCLEX. It was $40 or $50 for the 3 week trial and it offfered a ton of questions + content review, but if you do Saunders for content just focus on the questions on the NCSBN site if you decide to go that way! I liked both Kaplan and Saunders. I personally thought NCLEX was similar to if not easier, than Kaplan.. but that was just my experience.
I also made notecards for myself on things that I wanted to make sure that I knew, like infection control --> standard, contact, airborne, droplet precautions, and a few drug classes. I studied everyday for 2 months for severalllll hours/day. I just wanted to make sure I passed, and passed on my first try!!! I put in a lot of work and am glad that it paid off. I hope that helps you!!!
