Choosing A NCLEX ReviewCenter Here In Phil.

World International

Published

Hi!

i Jst want to ask any NCLEX Passers from the philippines.. what, in your opinion, is a good or probably the best review center here??

I really dont know which review center should i go..

i reviewed to pentagon in my local exam..

How bout you guys who already passed? or for those who are reviewing right now.. what do you guys think? :idea:

I'm sorry, I do not recommend reviewing for the NCLEX while working and certainly do not recommend any local review center. At least you should know the local review centers that were implicated on the June 2006 leakage and you should stay away from them. Your potential foreign employers will be weary on why Phil. nursing grads keeps going to those review centers even after they were already implicated and being investigated.

Batting ave. for those working and reviewing at the same time is very low.

When ever reviewing for any board exam or board-level type exam one always do a dedicated review.

When you were reviewing for the NLE, weren't you reviewing on a dedicated basis and not dong anything else?

do you happen to know any review center that offers weekend scheds? help pls...

If you were working and trying to review at the same time, you must have disclipine when it comes to time management. If you have this, you wil surely pass. If you were working, it is better for you to do it by self review because you are the one controlling your time.

We are trying to tell you that there are many issues with the review centers in the Philippines, and highly recommend that you do not use them.............they were at the center of all of the scandals going on there right now........and employers are actually starting to ask where you did your review, and if with one of many of the centers there, they are automatically refusing the hire the nurse.

You are free to select a center, but we will not be able to help you with that.

same here, took me four months to finish the book and nearly two months to finish the 3 cds from saunders while working full time as a temporary license nurse.

Remember, the purpose of the review is to build on what you already know and to refresh what you have forgotten. NCLEX is a US exam to test your competency and to gauge whether you are a safe and effective ENTRY LEVEL nurse. so remember, when answering questions, don't base it on what you saw or experienced as a nurse here in the Phils (because some of the things we do here locally is really not ideal) always base your answer on what is IDEAL and on what you have read. ALWAYS ANSWER TEXTBOOK! another piece of advice is to buy international books because most (if not all) of our local books are really not helpful. last piece of advice, learn how to prioritize and delegate tasks and procedures to your health care team and to your patients as well. LEARN BY HEART what an LPN and a CNA can and can not do! the more you read, the more confident you will be. good luck!

There are many good study guides on the market to review.

Motivation and interest in what you do are the key !

I've studied with "Saunders comprehensive review for NCLEX-RN"

it comes with a free CDrom with 3500 practice questions, rationales and test taking strategies... and the money back guarantee if you do not pass ...

I have studied and worked at the same time...so it is doable especially when you do not have the choice to do otherwise.

Good luck !

very, very true! i totally agree on this one!

im doing it on my own using review cd's its fun coz ive my own time! though discipline is a must......saunders and kaplan..any other helpful materials?

I'm not really an advocate of multiple references. 1 main book and maybe 1 other 'side reference'. I know Suzanne prefers just using one reference (Saunder's).

It will really just confuse you if you have more than 1 main book as each one has it's own strategy/program.

Just my humble opinion, though.

theyre quite the same when it comes to the basics but i am really into studying the transcultural thingy..quite confusing learning about different cultures especially in the western areas...
