I used NCSBN learningext course to study for NCLEX-PN. I found it very useful and much like the actual exam. I took boards 2/28/08, computer shut off at 85 and I PASSED!!!:nuke:

Hi

They present all the information in outline form and that is kind of boring and tedius but what I liked about it was you can pick and choose what you really needed to study. I also used another book for medication calculation review because they didn't have very many. I took it for 5 weeks and then extended another 3 because I liked their question banks. Also they have good sections on priority, delegation and infection control and lab results. It is much cheaper then alot of the other reviews and so you don't get alot of other stuff that I have read about like stratigies etc. I guess you get what you pay for and that was all I could afford. The glossary included with the program is slow but they also give you Tabers online while you are signed up. I liked it but I have noticed that alot of people don't. I wish you good luck and yes I passed with 75. :)

I haven't tested yet so I can't answer that part of the question. I did the 5 wk course and didn't get to do all the content review 'cause I'm a slacker! But I did the entire Qbank which I really think helped me.

i know what you mean i kinda just skimmed thru the outline review.. boring.. but ive noticed that ive learned more just by doing questions alone! good luck to us!

hi! i too like the learningext.. i had taken kaplan last summer and in comparison with the two learningext is just way easier.. to read and understand.. but im not sure if that means that it not analytical questions or hard questions...
