Specializes in OBGYN.
Thanks for the tips...

I am testing late October.

I am doing the same for meds. i have been out of school for 4 years, so, I have to start all over from scratch so I am back to the drawing board with knowing the classes...

But I didn't think about Saunders...I have the 4th edition, so I will view the emds in the CD as well as the chapters. Good luck reviewing. :up:

i've been out of school for more than 4 yrs too...brain was rusty initially now working a bit back in order....the tests on saunders 4th is wonderful...u could do 100 and see the whole report how we are doing overall...i love the cd...

hi,

I am a second time test taker and plan on taking it end of october. I am using Suzannes plan and am almost done with the first tip. I have heard nothing but good things about it and am pretty confident that it will work. My twin sister used her plan and passed on the second try. I wish everyone good luck and happy studying

Anyone writing the exam next month?

I was a part of the June and July Support group and it was great. I am currently reviewing Suzanne's plan, I am a re-taker and so far I am at a road block with meds...

I don't know how to re-start with reviewing meds the best way....if anyone has any tips, please share the wealth!!

I think it would be great if we would start an October support group if one has not been started already...if one has started (I couldn't find it), pleae post and let me know where...

Good luck reviewing...:yeah:

jazzymika,

Ya, it's a good idea to have October NCLEX Support Group. Let's share study tips and if possible, whatever the outcome of the Exam is, let us post here. In that way, we can give feedback to future test takers. :up:

Goodluck to all October test takers! hugmebaby_72

i'm taking the nclex on october 9. like many of you i'm getting more anxious as the exam day approaches. i only gave myself 2 months to do my review. i can't say where i stand or how ready i am for the board but let me share to you some study tips which i got from different sites, tips from successful test-takers and personal study plan. Hope this will help.:D

Step 1: KNOW THE NURSING CONTENT

I did ABCs of passing foreign nursing exams and NCLEX 311 by R.A. Gapuz. Reading about drugs was gruelling so i did my own notes and studied them by classification. Surfed the net for the common topics on the nclex and did my cross-reference from different nursing books.

Step 2: MASTER TEST TAKING STRATEGIES

Read Kaplan! Kaplan! Kaplan! and Saunders as well

Step 3: Answer as many questions as you can (at least 5000)

I did Prentice Hall 2008, Saunders (Q&A, Comprehensive review) and Kaplan Question Trainer (all the 7 tests)

GOODLUCK EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS!!

LET'S FACE NCLEX EXAM WITH CONFIDENCE AND BELIEVE THAT WE CAN PASS IT!Ü:typing:yeah::bow::up:
