nclex studying

Published

I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend some good nclex studying books. I have looked and there are books from many different publishers and even computerized programs to help you study. Is there one you can recommend? Thanks the info would be very appreciated. I want to start studying this summer so I will be ready after my last semester in the falll.

I am just curious.....

How long did other nurses study before taking the NCLEX?

And did you feel your studying was beneficial?

2 weeks of "real" studying for about 3 hours a day (just questions, never bothered to study content). Honestly, I feel like had I studied any more it wouldn't have mattered. I passed in 82 questions. My friend who studied for 2 months like a lunatic passed in 75 questions. In the end, we both were *positive* we failed (just like almost everyone else who posts). Then wah-la....we passed. Go figure.

I have a question: which book is more suitable for the first semester nursing students? I have problem with critical thinking, and would like to buy practice exam books that cover on those. Can anyone help me?

Specializes in I wanna be a NICU Nurse.

Hi! I used NSNA, Saunders, Lipincott and other local reviewers. I was also preparing for CGFNS exam at the same time and it took me almost a year in my review center also attending live lectures and listening to some audios our review center has. After my CGFNS exam, I didn't really studied that hard already in preparation for my NCLEX which is like 2 months after. But I did, practice test taking of 265 questions.

Just read and read and do practice tests. Always prioritize Safety, ABCs and Maslow's. Never delegate assessments, planning, and evaluation to an unlicensed nurse.
