NCLEX TUTOR

Published

Hi!

Im having a hard time prepping/studying for the NCLEX-RN exam. I graduated in 2017 (had a long and stressful nursing school experience). I tried Kaplan and purchased their online self-paced course and for both in class and online practice questions....I don’t know the answers! I’ve forgotten soo much content that I don’t even know where to begin and it’s frustrating. I’m lacking the dedication, motivation and focus that I need in order to succeed! I appreciate any and all advice or suggestions. If anyone knows of a tutor in the NYC area please let me know. Thank you!!!

When using Kaplan I always kept a notepad handy, any question where I didnt recognize a medication, or I couldn't remember a specific disease process or lab, I would write it down. After the test I would do a quick google search to either refresh my memory or do some more in depth research if I really did not remember the topic. I also remediated every question of every practice test, I didn't always think the explanation Kaplan gave was the best, but it was a starting point to guide my learning.

I used ATI for Nclex prep it was included in my nursing program. It includes predictors/exams, reading content/review, and rationales/questions. It also includes a virtual coach (I found mine more annoying than helpful). It works and prepares you with both questions and knowledge. I think it will be a good review of nursing knowledge since you graduated a while ago. It comes with a ton of books to review all the content from school as well as the e-books. You can take a test, look at the rationales and the associated remediation is highlighted for you to read in the e-books. I think it's a 12 week review. A negative is that it is expensive.

Just took the test and passed at 75. I used uworld and I feel like it definitely helped me get familiar with alot of things. So once I took the test I had general knowledge about pretty every thing or atleast enough to make a good guess. I also got some mark klimek recordings from a friend that helped with like 2-3 questions. Overall the test wasn't bad at all and I over studied tbh.

I'm in a similar situation, I graduated in 2017 from my LPN program and since then forgotten alot of content. I gotten my motivation back to study and prep. Here's my approach to study.

Full content review

NRSNG.COM they have bite videos you can follow along with the saunders comprehensive textbook.(the older version of this textbook is fine to use) also a 12 week nclex content review calender. The site has questions you can customize to the sections your reviewing. It also has something called a simclex. It to simulate taking the nclex.

Mark kilmek audio you will have to do your own research to find this.

Quizlet look for Hurst flash cards

Nclex RN Mastery this is also good for content 2,200 Q- bank. You can customize your quizzes to the content your learning about.
