Nclex nclex nclex worth a read!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi everyone! I have been on such a journey as all of you have been. Today I took my nclex.. 2/11/13. My computer shut down at 92 questions..I sat there for a good minute in disbelief..that is it? It is OVER? I took my LPN boards 2 years ago..shut down at 85. For some reason I couldn't remember the exam being as stressful to prepare as this one was. I did the PVT trick and got this so called "good pop up"..I hope it works..if not I still want to tell everyone/anyone how I studied

Lacharity~ PRIORITY... who do you see first? This is so important...high level questions are priority! FINISH THIS BOOK! There is NO WAY to tell how nclex will test..if you understand priority...(who is the MOST unstable- not the person that just came back from surgery, not the pt getting discharged, not a person complaining about mild pain- NO! The person with a REAL problem ie., fever, unstable labs, etc.)

Kaplan~ NOT WORTH IT! The exam is content content and more content. Kaplan is so twisted with the questions..I finished the Kaplan course and it was nothing like the exam. Nclex was very direct..(except the select all that apply) If you need content, and never heard of this program READY TO PASS, it is amazing! I live in NY I'm not sure if it's available anywhere else..It is straight content..if anyone wants any info private message me!

SO basically just the priority book, and CONTENT. I had no math, about 20 SATA, 3 drag drop..please if you have seen this before PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look at your infection control..again if you want any info on this private message me!

I want you all to know that I was not an "A" student. I got mostly B's..I struggled through the LPN program. The RN program was better but to be honest, I had to study A LOT to pull my B grades. My scores on Kaplan were all in the 50's (again, questions were NOT like nclex) -- Some people swear by this program. If you want to just practice questions it's ok..Lippincott I feel is much more like nclex. I would google for WEEKS to look for what was similar to nclex. Please don't waste your time on something that will not help you. Yes nclex is random but if you don't know the content you can't answer the question.

I still don't have my official results..I hope the pop up works! Any questions don't hesitate to ask. It's still fresh in my mind!

Congrats nd good luck for ur future.. I hope these same things happens to me too...

There isn't a secret to passing the test. You need to know content, test strategies, and then practice, practice, practice test questions. Focus on priority and SATA questions. And believe in yourself.

I didn't study pharm for the NCLEX. I had 2 med questions for drugs I had never heard of and they didn't have name endings that would be helpful like olol or pine, etc. I just did a best guess and didn't worry about it. I think everyone else will also say they had very few questions on mess.

The best way to study is to review content and answer questions. A ton of questions! Good luck in June.

Hi everyone! Since passing nclex I have been moving at 180 MPH! I had my first interview at a hospital yesterday! I hope I get the job! Now back to NCLEXIA ....as st claire said their is no REAL secret to passing nclex..their are things I focused on more..and things nclex will always focus on (infection control, priority) I focused on my weak points (Maternity and Peds) and meds I put everything together in categories..instead of focusing on prils, arbs, ca channel blockers as seperate..I put them all together..they ALL cause hypotension, they all VASODILATE...so if you understand this..then you will get this correct. Again, the LACHARITY book helped me so much. My friend took NCLEXIA the same time as me..her test also tons of priority and infection control..I took my LPN boards years ago..PRIORITY and INFECTION control! I truly believe that if you STOP checking FACEBOOK, wake up each morning motivated to do questions..and study from a GOOD content book (saunders) for at least a FULL 30 days that you can pass this!!!
