NCLEX Anxiety

Published

Hello,

I have recently taken NCLEX (1st time) and failed. I am trying to refocus my studies based on my first experience. I am wondering if this is a good idea or not.

My first attempt gave me several EKG strips, which I was unprepared for, and did poorly I' am guessing.

Does anyone know of any quick/easy ways to memorize critical EKG strips necessary for NCLEX?

Thank you

Watch Mike Linares video on youtube about EKG. It's basic and easy to understand. :)

Thank you both. I also found this one on another conversation.

It's called Rhythm Strip Qiuz

Hi Daisylane,

I failed the NCLEX my first try a few months ago. I registered again and found out today that I passed. I studied for 3 months to prepare this time and I used an old edition of Saunders NCLEX review that a friend gave to me after I failed. The cardiac section was really good. I really recommend getting an actual review book that goes over all that content. Also, do as many questions as you can. I did about 3000 between Kaplan, Saunders, and various practice exams I had laying around.

Keep your head up and study as much as possible for your next exam! Good luck!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I have been using several different nclex books this time. Last time (first time) I only used ATI. This time I am using Kaplan and Davis (figures the one book I don't have is Saunders). I also rented a Select all that apply book from Lippincott. I am putting much more energy into preparing this time than I did last time.

Congratulations on passing!!
