NCLEX- RN What to do ?

smn2010, BSN, RN · Sep 14, 2009

if you can afford it, i suggest you sign up for a nursing review course (kaplan, marlene hurst, ncsbn learning extension, vipra med. etc.). if the costs for these are too expensive, go to your local bookstore and purchase a nclex-rn comprehensive review book, exam cram, etc. that you are comfortable with. most books come with a cd that contains 1,500 - 4,000+

if you use the saunders comprehensive review book, you can take their pretest and from your test results, the software will prepare a 6 week (i think!) study schedule for you. this will help you get started with your studying.

there is also a book, referenced on this site quite frequently, by linda lacharity that discusses prioritization, delegation and assignment that is very good. you may find this book useful as you study your nclex-rn comp book.

good luck with your studies! :up:

First determine what you need to do. It's either you need to focus on content or your test taking skills. If you need to focus on your content, get a book (Saunders, Mosby, Kaplan RN Course Book) any book will do since it features the same thing. I used Kaplan RN Course book because I don't like books with bulky information and I just wanted to know the basics since NCLEX is mostly basic. If you're already equipped with knowledge on content, practice questions daily. I would suggest using Kaplan questions or Exam cram.
