Hi everyone!
I just wanted to ask whether this book is any good to prepare for the NCLEX-RN?
I am talking about 3rd edition, publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
Thanks
i also have the nclex 3000 and the 250 lippincott. thankswell, in the states do u normally passed the state board exam first before graduation? wow :) in my country (philippines) nurses need to graduate first before taking the local exam, only then we can take either cgfns or nclex or both. :) :)
oh no, I can't take the NCLEX til I graduate; I am just getting a jump on things. Plus with no school over the summer, practicing helps keep it in my mind. I think all these books will help with exams during the final semesters too.
You will have much better results with using Saunders. They do a much better job of explaining the rationale behind each answer and this is as important as just being able to answer a question. It is also the best for foreign trained nurses............. :)
Suzanne,
I hear you really like saunders. I would like your opinion....I test on 7/11 and have read Kaplan cover to cover twice and have done the NCSBN website, I am almost finished with the Saunders content review book (cover to cover)....do you think there is anything else I can do to prepare? I really like Saunders also because it gives me a chance to review things that I haven't thought about lately....I hope I have done enough. I think I need more priority questions though. I would appreciate your opinions. thanks...jp
a freind of mine who just took her nclex last week in hongkong told me that most of the questions are in prioritization, also a question about patient self determination act (psda) was asked. Saunders helped a lot coz its rationalization is better compared to nclex. however, the format of questioning is almost the same with kaplan. do u have the 7 trainer of kaplan? its has nice practice questions. Well, if u have finished all of these then i suggest u familiarize your self with herbal medicine. there is a book in herbal medicine by springhouse which is good or you can just surf the net. also, you should know which subject is your water low so that u can focus on it. Since, nclex is more of a diagnostic test. the more correct your answer is the question is getting harder and usually the questions are based on the subject you have the most incorrect answers.

:chuckle THIS IS FOR JP
For American-trained nurses: Saunders questions from the CD that comes with the Comprehensive Review.........100 per day, no more..........Book should be used for any topic that you are having problems with.
For foreign-trained nurses: Dependin g on where you trained and when.....Saunders is the best in terms of overall review, and their rationales are 100% correct. Start with te book as a review, then do the questions from the CD.
