NCLEX PN RETEST

DJAYS · Jan 17, 2015

Well be careful about a review...it doesn't always work for everybody. The cost , the review, there is so many things to think about. I too am a retaker but I am trying the nclex mastery it only cost $30 and they will pay you back $100 if you fail the test.. plus they work with you . And they have good questions over 1600 questions. They also have sata questions which is a big part of the nclex now. I think I tried so many things but I plan everyday a schedule of my study and I use the nclex mastery cheap but has great reviews...Good Luck

What was your performance review?

The issue may not necessarily the source of the review, but how one approaches the NCLEX itself: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.

Don't look at content; you know most of the material because you passed nursing school; begin to do questions related to each concept; review all questions and rationales; ANY rationale you struggle with, THEN review content. Lather, rinse, repeat.

When practicing the questions, prepare the questions like a mock NCLEX exam, review the minimum and then work up to the maximum for endurance purposes.

I will suggest if you are having issues with content ExamCRAM as a good resource and review book; also the NCSBN program for 8 weeks is like a review course online and is VERY comprehensive, if you find that this particular program is not what you like; personally, I never heard of the program, and looked to other sources with a better track record.
