NCLEX

I have talked to many people who have not taken kaplan, but have used their books and passed the first time.

Mrs. Suzanne,

I'm not rushing through the posts to get 15. In the Saunders book I am only on chapter 19. I started Saunders last Monday. Last nite when I was at the grocery store I seen one of my friends that graduated from nursing school in 2006. She told me that when she did Saunders, her grade were very low also & that she did pass NCLEX on her first try. I have set Kaplan aside. It was not helping me. She said to do a lot of questions & do read the rationales & that will help you to critically think also. I just didn't want you to think that I was rushing to get my 15 posts so I could do your plan, because I'm not. NCLEX mean the world to me, it will provide bread & butter for my family, & that I wouldn't jeopardize!

I do have the Saunders 3rd & 4th Edition book. I recently bought the 4th Edition book. Thank you inland18mempire for letting me know about the Saunders book. I know it does take time to go through all the Saunders chapters. I don't think I have a problem with reading comprehension, I know a lot of people I talked to said that their grades were low when they did NCLEX questions (40s-50s), & they passed boards the first time. They said trying to answer nursing questions is very hard, that once you do so many of them you will be able to critically think. So I am just going to keep my faith in GOD, & not stress so much over it. Once again thank you.
