Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Specializes in Informatics.

I'm using, Saunder's Comprehensive 5th ed,

Just ordered PREPU NCLEN-10,000 and LaCharity's delegation 2nd ed.

I graduate in December (10th).

Our school has a Kaplan course... some student swear by it. I personally HATE kRaplan. Their texts are ridden with error, their online tests are poorly written with crap rationales, and I foresee this being the case for the week long prep course, but I guess I'll attend anyway...

Suggestions or am I solid?

I plan on studying 100ish questions a day till I graduate, then 6-8 hours a day for a month after, then NCLEX!

Specializes in Operating Room Nurse.

I studied Kaplan for the NET (Nurse Entrance Test). I found 40 errors, typos, things that were plain wrong. While it had minimally good information, the fact that I paid for it, and it seemed not to be edited was beyond amazing.

I've started the Kaplan 2011 NCLEX reveiw. I've thus far found 3 errors, and poor rationales supporting their work.

My school pays for us to access Kaplan online tests and provides a week-long review course at the end of the semester. Same situation, errors, little to no rationale.

Having graduated from a university that demanded attention to detail and had little sympathy for unedited work, this is instilled in its students. Furthermore, it should be expected from a company that prepares students not only for nursing, but medicine, dentistry, law and more. Having a reputation for uncorrected errors, faulty information and poor rationales that might as well say, 'because we say so', one is left with little other thoughts for excellence when considering the company...

Well as same as you we must attend ICSEC or also knows as KAPLAN here in the phil. Our school made it a requirement for taking the boards..lol same as you I have a lot of concerns regarding kaplan but let's keep it polite and act as professionals because being racist to them does nothing to them. We're just making our vessels to contrict which lead to increased BP and ICP which can be bad to our vital organs. :lol2: I suggest doing the online review with hurst of feuer . good luck :up:

Who was racist?

Having an opinion about what works for one person is not unprofessional, or 'talking bad' about someone....it's an opinion based on personal experience. This OP wants to use someone else.... that's what the forum is for- figuring out what has worked for others, and getting suggestions. :)

We have Kaplan review books here, too, grantz :)
