need help for nclex resouces

Published

Hey guys :)

Going to sit nclex in a month and 2 weeks, so im basically using these 2 weeks to gather resources to help me prepare. So far i have a hurst review book, kaplan course book, and a study guide floating around here on allnurses.

I'm online right now shopping for the prioritization delegation book on amazon but the new edition is kinda out of my budget. Do you guys think the 2nd edition will suffice? I'm also going to pay for a month of uworld tonight.

I plan on studying 5 days a week for a minimum of 5 hours. I still need to brush up on some content, anyone can also suggest a content review that isn't too bulky?

Thanks

Ackeem

Don't overload yourself with test banks. Stick to two UWORLD and la charity and a theory to study your labs etc is the study guide that's floating here in AN. Best of success

I agree uworld and lacharity, got Hurst as well as refresher for my content. Uworld questions are hard but it will help you to critically think and it makes nclex way easier. :yes:

Hi Ackeem! My advice: don't overwhelm yourself with a variety of resources. Stick to two or three. I was once told that many resources are very similar, and there's quite a bit of money to be made out of NCLEX prep, if you get my drift. I will vouche for UWorld. Get through all 1700+ questions and read each rationale whether you answer correctly or not. NCLEX Mastery is another great qbank. Do at least 2500-4000 questions prior to testing. This will really get you in the mindset and you will learn quite a bit just from this study method. Content-based studying...I personally wouldn't put too much time into it aside from memorizing lab values and other bits of information (e.g. signs/symptoms of Addison's vs Cushing's). I also used the Lippincott NCLEX Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN book. Hope this helps!

Please how did you find the questions on Lippincott? Were they close to nclex questions or far different?

I found them to be excellent NCLEX practice questions. The 11th edition I purchased also comes with a CD-ROM containing extra questions.
