Hi Westpalm,

I actually just took this exam this morning, happy to say I got an A :w00t:

I actually used a College network study guide that I got on ebay for a great price. I also used the saunders NClex review material, as I do not think the college network covered the material well enough.

These Lifespan tests require more studying than the previous tests, In my opinion. Good luck!

Hi Isabella! We are having an informal LS1 study group tomorrow night, Wednesday 7 pm CT at the Excelsior College EPN Chat Room A if you would like to join us! Basically we are just going through the content guide, but it is really good practice to be able quiz eachother and put terms through the nursing process. Good luck in your studies!

I too am studying for LS1. I am using the SG 101 but mostly the Saunders Nclex Guide- its easier to read and understand than SG101 Imo. I took repro fri and passed. I too am going- Wow where to even start!?! But I figure I better just jump in!!

Anyone know if we should be able to know differences in the wave readings? TIA

I asked EC this question, and I believe the anwer I got was we don't have to interpret wave form patterns but we do need to know the various dysrhythmias, meds, interventions etc.
