Published

Hi, I'm taking the NCLEX-RN in 2 weeks. I did the Kaplan course and Q-Bank, reviewed some of the videos on Kaplan, plus did some of Saunders Q&A review. I'm typically scoring mid 60's to upper 70's on Saunders, 60's in Kaplan (still have a couple Q trainers left). Anyone have any advice of what I should focus on studying or doing in these last few weeks? I am getting really nervous!!!

I can tell you what I did. I did Kaplan and a Saunders CD. I did as many questions I could do for about an 1 1/2 hrs per day. I was told by someone to do at least 3000 questions. I didn't do that many, and don't worry if you don't, but doing as many questions as possible is good practice. It looks like your scores are pretty good, but keep on practicing and you will get even better. Good luck!

I read the Random Fact Throwing thread (at the top of the page) every single day up until the day before I tested. There is awesome information posted in that thread - a lot of stuff that is likely to show up on NCLEX. I would also recommend knowing your infection control content - that is a very hot topic on NCLEX right now! Best of luck!

Yeah, one of the things on my "to do" list is to make sure I at least review the Infection control thread. From what alot of people have been saying, I get the impression infection control is big right now.

There is also alot of infection control on the Random Facts Thread as well. I used Drexel DVDs and Lippincott's NCLEX Reveiw book, but, by far, I used the Random Facts Thread. The Infection Control Thread is hard to find, it would be nice if it could be merged in with the Random Facts Sticky.:wink2: Good luck ChristineN.
