NCSBN 5 week course review extlearning

rn1mid · Aug 4, 2012

hi assess&safety 1st,

i am waiting for my att next week. i did not pass my first time. and, i am so stressed about the 2nd time. i want to pass it soo baad.

yeah i took kaplan before i took nclex the 1st time. it works for some people but didn't work for me because i didn't discipline myself enough. and i don't really like how the kaplan book is organized. after i found out i failed the 1st time.

this time i used lacharity and i finished it. and, i signed up to ncsbn ext. learning (5 wks). i love ncsbn, i really think those questions remind me of the nclex.

i scored in pretest: 66%

lesson 1 management of care: 75% :up:

lesson 2 infection control: 1st 65% :down: then 2nd 95% :up:

lesson 3 health promotion and maintenance: 60% :down: i will do it again

i would like to post my review here! i am trying to stay positive with everything i do but it seems like my life is becoming harder and harder every day which makes it more interesting and challenging!

i need to your supporting comments : )

rn1mid · Aug 6, 2012

I had 3 to 2 SATA in each quiz. It's like the NCLEX. Ask the system about it.

Hi guys,

How is your studying?!

Aug7

Lesson 4- Psychosocial Integrity/ 1st: 50% :down: 2nd: 85% :up:

It was very difficult and confusing :bugeyes:

I am also trying to keep my mind away from negative thoughts. And, I found the solution to get rid of it. Two steps:

1- Flee :banghead:

Don’t pay attention to negative thoughts and don’t argue with them. Just flee and run away! Leave all those negative thoughts and go.

2- Fill

Fill your mind with positive thoughts. This is one reason why having a quote of the day is a good thing.

So, my quote of the day:

"When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you

do not change your decision to get there."

-Zig Ziglar

See ya!

My ati scores range from 70-80, ati questions seem so much harder than this and yet my scores for this are very low. Ugh

hello everyone, sorry, I have not been on... I've been busy with NCSBN bank q's plus home-life.

healthstar, how do you like NCSBN review for 3 weeks?

rn1mind, same here, good positive thoughts! Count down for me now til NCLEX! :no: I have family visiting this weekend Friday - Sunday so I am trying to do more q's a day before they arrive from out of state! :hug:

futurelpn2012, in Saunders book what content are you reviewing? Or are you doing CD?

Lesson 7 - Reduction of Risk Potential is my worst %. I think that's my weak area. I am so embarrassed to even posted the % and I took it twice, too.

Lesson 5 - Basic Care and Comfort 60%, I keep getting 60's each time. I have taken the Lesson 5 - Basic Care and Comfort 60%, twice now and same 60%.

I'm currently working on Self-check Practice Questions Bank 2 Various Topic ....

Question: to anyone............how can I improve my score % for Reduction of Risk Potential and Basic Care and Comfort?

What should I review? Not sure if it is content area or what? Sorry....that's why I am asking. Thank you in advance.

Back to studying and count down continues..............................................................................................................................

i'm also doing the 5-week ncsbn review. my scores are as follows:

diagnostic pre-test - 61%

[color=#004578][color=#004578][color=#004578]management of care - 70%

[color=#004578][color=#004578][color=#004578]safety and infection control - 85% (when i took nclex rn in 2010, i was above passing in this area)

[color=#004578][color=#004578][color=#004578]health promotion and maintenance - 72%

there's a lot of reading to be done with ncsbn...just like going through saunders from cover to cover. my brain is on information overload at this moment. :sleep:

well, back to ncsbn :bugeyes:
