I took it yesterday. I had 36 SATA (exam stopped at 75. Had 6 exhibit questions, 3 to order the steps of a process, and no MED math.

I’m a licensed nurse today but I did not think I passed when I left. Honestly, it all felt too simple.

Good luck! Do you test soon?

NurseRNBSN81 Congrats!!! Do you mind sharing what did you do to prep for the test?

No, I don’t mind at all!

Outside of books I purchased, I used the NRSNG Academy App. I did a bunch of questions then focused on the areas where the app identified I was weak. The areas of weakness they pointed out, I then reviewed their lectures (all on the app). The app also have lots of “cheat sheets” on frequently tested items. They have one on SIADH, HHHS, and Addisons. All of these helped me remember things I needed for the test yesterday in a concise way.

I purchased Saunders book (as required by my program) this was my basis for most of my med surg studying. I also bought the prioritization & Delegation book. I’ll have to go find it and give you the title. Depending on how quickly you are testing, I could even ship them to you. I’ll also check in the interim if I have those both on iBooks, if so i think I can email them to you for free.

Im so old school and love to have an actual book in my hand that I can write notes in the margin etc. I know the apps do it but it isn’t the same.

I had a lot of OB topics and Peds stuff, HELLP questions etc. I have a maternal fetal medicine Demystified and Pediatric nursing demystified book that help to actually “get” those topics.

I also watched quite a few videos on registerednurse YouTube channel. She’s a southern girl like me so she didn’t annoy me too bad. She’s super smart and great at breaking down physiology.

Thank you! I will definitely keep your offer in mind. I purchased the Kaplan prep course, so I am trying to go through it. I heard a lot of good things about the prioritization book. There are so many options out there! Thanks again for the updates on the new format.
