In one to two months I will be taking my exam, this thread is an online log to track my progress.I figure if I do it on my own, it will be most likely to FAIL. So Im here, taking all the risks. I know its hard to do it on my own, so I need some encouragements from everyone here (if possible).
So far, I gathered all the resources I need:
Books: LaCharity, Saunders, Kaplan and (to purchase) NCSBN online review.
Place; I mostly can focus on a not-too-noisy places, Library is one of my fave.
Lastly, to everyone who will be taking taking there exam this coming May or June,
I wish you all luck!
In the end, our strong faith to ourselves and the Divine will make us all reach success!
Hey marinoh, i dont know what edition was that, but its the one with the red cover
Exam cram is a book that comes with cd.. A friend of mine recommended it
Hi bluegeirdwirl,
Thanks for the reply. I am just wondering because the one i got bought is the latest edition, and it has part 3 (PDA in complex health scenario) included, since you did not mention that in your post. That was the reason why I asked the question, as it would be nice if you look through the part 3, it's a case study format. Wish you the very best!!!!
P.S
Is the exam Cram the yellow and blue book by Wilda Rinehart (2011), just wanted to be sure bl4 I buy it at amazon. Thanks
Does it matter what version the Lacharity book is 2005 vs. 2010? I'd like to save $ if possible. TIA
Hi finalscore3b1g,
The 2011 is the latest edition and in the Preface, it says they have made changes to reflect focus on evidenced-based best practices. And new chapters, questions, and case studies have been added. I got the 2011, so I have no idea what was in the 2006 (first edition). Hope this helps. Good luck!!!

I have the 2005 edition (red), it worked fine for me. As long as I get to familiarize with the delegation type of questions, im okay. I have no idea about the 2nd ed. ;(
Why not try to buy a used 2nd edition maybe that'll save you a few bucks.
hey bluegerrdwirl,u recommend NCSBN oniline review ,i m also thinking to take about this review.what is procedure of this review?
IF, you have a shorter time of studying, it really works out fine. It is time limited so make sure u have internet all the time. It has 3/5/ and i think 7week course. I have the 5week one.
Its a bit incomplete unlike the other comprehensive reviews but they have nclex type of questions that u can practice.
