hey everyone,
so i am about to start reviewing for the NCLEX and am torn between which to use NCSBN or Uworld Qbank (I'm assuming thats from Kaplan ) . i also have access to Saunders book and questions, but i will probably use that just for extra practice, if there is time .
would love to hear some feedback on either one of these.
thanks in advance
was UWorld the only study tool you used? i am trying to figure out if that will be enough or if i need to used something else as well
Heres exactly what i did; i used UWORLD for 2 months straight every day and did the whole bank twice. When my subscription expired i purchased NCLEX mastery and lacharity, i answered questions from those two for the two weeks leading up to my exam.
To answer your question directly, UWORLD is what i used 80 percent of the time to study for the exam. i give it 90 percent credit for my succes on the NCLEX and the next 10 percent to lacharity.
I did 1200 questions from NCLEX mastery, however, looking back at it now i felt it was not necessary because i learnt very little from it. Lacharity however was worth every penny, very usefull for international graduates like myself for the NCLEX delegation questions.

thank you!!! i unfortunately do not have as much time to study but i do have roughly a month, i will definitely get UWorld and I already have the Lacharity book, (we actually had to use it for our leadership class in school)
Internships? Where are you from? I live in Virginia and accepted a full time position at a level 1 trauma center hospital, I'll be working on the orthopedics floor (my first choice) in January. I didn't graduate till May.
I am from florida, and applying to NICUs but to be able to get into the ICUs the hospitals here want you to do a training program (some call it internship)
