NCLEX

Published

I have my NCLEX exam coming up in 2 weeks! I'm feeling overwhelmed with all this studying and information...just wondering if anyone has any tips or recommendations that might help? what study tools did people find most helpful? Books? Websites? Classes? what did people find most closely mimicked the NCLEX exam?

Thanks!

A lot of people are saying the LaCharity book helped them. Mine should be delivered Tuesday, hope it helps. What is different about this book?

I liked how the book really solidified the roles of the RN, LPN, and health care assistant/care aid. I found it also. Reinforced the pathophysiology and ABC stuff...ie what is emergent, what is urgent, what can wait in a complex way that really was similar to the exam. It helped me to start thinking in the "NCLEX Land" kind of way.

Yes, it's a very good source for delegation and prioritizing (like if the nurse has 4 patients, which is most life-threatening/unstable?).

Never delegate what you can EAT (evaluate, assess, teach).

In NCLEX world, UAPs do hygiene care and ambulate patients. LPNs can do dressing changes and can reinforce things that have already been taught by the RN (double check using another source just to make sure i'm right about that). RNs are the only ones that evaluate, assess, and teach their patients. So, for example, if a patient just got out of surgery or is ready to be discharged, the RN needs to be the one to see them b/c the patient will more than likely need teaching and an assessment done. Hope this helps.
