Nclex

Well I just graduated as well in June, we had a 3 day review class, we had to pay $50 and the school paid the remainder........it was OK. There were 2 teachers total, on the first day the teacher was really good and informative, and the next 2 days.........it was like we were in class again and really felt like a waste.......they did give us a binder with all the material we need to study in the condensed form. I personally don't choose to use just that book to study. I also purchased a book and CD by Davis.......its pretty good but I too don't know if I will need more................well if you find anything keep us all posted!

Good Luck

Where in Cali are you? I graduated LVN school in June and took my NCLEX yesterday! My test cut off at 85 questions and I am being told that I probably passed! I won't be confident until I get my results in my hands. I had alot SATA and they really sucked. I had a big mixture of everything!

Hey Julee2ya,

I live in San Diego. How did you prepare for the NCLEX? I think you passed too if it shut off at 85.

I took my NCLEX in North County at Rancho Bernardo! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

I studied ALOT! I probably did about 1500 questions a week on NCLEX practice. I had 5 different programs on my computer that I did and it really helped alot! When it got down really close to my test, I really buckled down and did a big review on all the programs. I did about 1000 questions the last 2 days.

I worked threw the saunders 3rd edition, it was a hard book but i'm glad i did it. I didn't really use the book too much, just the chapters I felt needed extra help. I used the CD daily doing at least Ten, 10 question quizzez a day. I passed with 85 questions on my first try!!

Good luck!

Check out the NCLEX section of the site! Good info there too :)

I don't think anyone can really prepare you for NCLEX by giving relevant material because the exam is individualized. I did take a review course, because my job paid for it. Some people said that they had no relevant information on their exam. I guess I was fortunate, because I did, but that really is the luck of the draw. If I had to do it over again and didn't have that option, I probably would not have gone unless I took it and failed the first time. I say this because if I paid all of that money and still didn't pass, then, I wouldn't really know what else needed to be done.

I mainly used the program Cram Masters (it is alot like the NCLEX), Lippincotts, Davis and Saunders. I didn't really use the books either just the computer CD's. I am really glad that I did it too and you can never study too much. It is a MUST to do many questions to get used to the type of questions but I must say, you will feel like you never are prepared but just believe in yourself and don't second guess yourself.
