I just started the classes to become an RN. I decided to start with the Fund of nursing (Kuzier & Erbs) 8th edition. It seems pretty overwhelming with the huge study guide and enormous book. It seem like I won't have the right knowledge base to be able to pass the exam.
I can not find Lisa's notes. When I typed in into ebay, it changed the spelling to Arenas.
Any suggestions to help me obtaint he right knowledge base? I'm using istudy smart is anyone else using it and is it successful?

Those are the right ones. Lisa Arends is her name. Good luck with your studies.

Lisa notes are just her own outlines and notes she created while studying for Excelsior exams. I have purchased a couple of them from ebay. They're very helpful.

I didn't find her notes too helpful but most def only worth the ten bucks. I've been using Chancellors guides and I love them. They sell on ebay but they are a hard find...currently looking for NC6. I paid as little as 20 bucks and as much as $90.
I also purchased notes fom studygroup101 and have been using notes off the yahoo groups been getting by on those. It's hard to stay motivated but the letters RN after my name keeps me going.
I made a B on NC-6. The EC content guide was right on the money. The only thing I used were the notes from the yahoo groups and flashcardexchange.com. On the flashcardexchange site just type in words like spinal trauma, infectious diseases, burns, etc. You can type in NC6 and there will be some flashcards, too. Mostly practice test folks have turned into flashcards. Send me a pm with your e-mail and I'll forward you some notes that were sent to me. I used chancellor's for a lot of my test. I'm glad I didn't use it for NC6.
I can't find any help for NC1; I can find a lot for all of the others but not NC1.
I am getting completely frustrated.
I also have two study guides for EC and don't know which one to use. If you look at the EC site, there are a couple of options for the EC study guides.
HELP.

I just ordered Lisa's notes, hope they are more helpful than the study guides I paid $8,000 for. Talk about a rip off!
I'm studying in the Baton Rouge, LA area. If anyone out there is interested in a study group, please let me know.
