...Made Incredibly Easy

[Fun2]

I bought "NCLEX-RN Questions & Answers Made Incredibly Easy" off of Ebay, and got it in the mail yesterday.

My question is: Are the other NCLEX study books/CDs harder than this one?

Granted I just got the book, but I have flipped through the book answering questions. MOST of the ones I answered I got right!

I haven't even started nursing school, and I'm hoping the others that I WILL purchase later will be more challenging.

I realize there are 3500 questions in this book, and if I were to answer all of them right now, I probably wouldn't be able to answer 10% correctly. However, when it comes to studying for the NCLEX later down the line, I want something that will really prepare me.

I just bought this one to study the style of questions so that I could get used to them before I start nursing school.

(BTW, the questions I answered correctly came from all parts (beg/mid/end) of the chapters, and I looked at several different chapters.)

best advice for going into nursing as far as study things. IMO is get a good patho book. the first year try to get your physiology and pathology down. if you understand those you can work your way through almost any issue. form the expected effects of meds and there side effects to understanding a holistic point of view on disease process and the effects of those processes on various body systems and the signs and symptoms that result. trust me on this one get a good patho book, it will become you bible for the next few years. that and your med surg book.

fun2care, I subscribe to both nursing made incredibly easy and nursing 2005. I was surprised how many articles pertained to what I was learning last semester and this semester. Of course our instructor this semester makes us read an article out of one of the magazines for just about every subject she goes over, but I guess my point it this...I find them very helpful...I also find my MOSBY's NCLEX extremely helpful in class. It is the 17th edition and I got it off of ebay. It has questions, rationale and some pathophysiology in it. I think it really helps me study for my unit exams as well. I have other NCLEX reviews as well but this one is my fave. GOOD LUCK to ya and when do you start your nursing classes?
