Is it true about NCLEX?

..Well yes and no.. Just remember on a priority question...the NCLEX wants MASLOW, ...in school we are taught pt safety #1 and a great emohasis is on pain.

On the NCLEX..think MASLOW (physiological-food, air, water and SEX) is first

never pick PAIN--although in school we are taught that, but remember "pain never killed anyone"--i learned that from hurst

The NCLEX is a test you have never seen before.-you have to think like "them", many can do that the first time, for others (like me) it took a bit-but once you can do this,

everyone passes.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU, keep us posted

Thank you soooo much for your information. Im just scared. I am also doing the online Hurst and I really find it helpful. I do have to turn my thinking around. I take my test June 16th. I will keep you all posted.

Just think of the NCLEX as your last nursing school test.

Dont try to over-analyze it will only drive you crazy.

So do your review courses, study a broad range of topics, and when it comes time for the test, answer to your best ability and don't read into the question to find information that isn't there.

NCLEX = book answers, not real world answers.

Think prioritizing, ABC's, and heirarchy of needs, and you'll do fine.

Best of luck!!
