How well are you doing answering the questions? Are there topics that you consistently get get wrong? What were the results of your previous NCLEX tests and what areas were you below passing?

THIS.

What are your consistent weak areas?

the last grades was "near passing standard" in Management of care, infection control, pharm, physiology, and "below passing standard" in health promotion, psychosocial, basic care and comfort, and reductions risk.

Take a step back. Sounds like you are really overwhelming yourself. That can become a huge problem - especially when you sit down at the test. Trust yourself - don't second guess - and rock on

I used NCSBN's review for the NCLEX-RN Exam. The 3-week, $50 option and there was no long list to choose from. You just pay and you get the comprehensive course via Greenlight. Maybe I misunderstood your question? Did you use this link>> NCSBN's Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination v7.0.1 - Students - NCSBN Learning Extension ?

NCLEX PN-Review Incredibly Easy 3rd Edition. Great Practice Test! And ATI-Like Reviews in each chapter. Loved it. Used it for NCLEX In May of '14.

Hello Tunapson , I have actually posted a thread on how I passed the NCLEX using " NCSBN" and the book titled " Proritization, Delegation, and Assessment. " I think it may help you !

I agree. The second book Prioritization and Delegation is a great tool and lifetime reference.

The issue may not necessarily the source of the review, but how one approaches the NCLEX itself: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.
