You fail because you only memorize. NCLEX is you apply, what you know. I suggest you buy NCLEX reviewer if your planning taking NCLEX as soon as you graduate. That would be a good start to study NCLEX so it would be easy for you to pass it in the future. My MS instructor also use NCLEX questions before but he just copy paste the NCLEX questions from a book which most of my classmate who knows what book it is just memorize the answer not knowing whats the connection of the answer to the question..Most of them fail in the licensure exam.
EXAMPLE
Q: The patient report polydipsia, polyuria and polypagia. What would be the nurse initial response?
a. assess for wounds
b. report to the doctor
c. provide bed pan to the patient
d. check glucose level
You know the 3 S&S of diabetes:polydipsia, polyuria and polyphagia and Nursing process: Your ADPIE, Assessment, Diagnose, Plan, Implement, Evaluation
A. assessment always be the first thing to do but not the best answer
B. implementation, not the first
C. implementaion, not the first
D. would be the best answer
Hope I helped^^:heartbeat
I'm sorry - I know everyone is suggesting books and I think that's great - but my first thought was only 4 out of 17 passed! I'm thinking it's the instructors and their teaching technique and/or their question style? It's been my experience that if the majority if getting it wrong...the teachers are doing something wrong....just sayn'!
Good luck!!

I have the Medical Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems 8th edition by Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, Camera.
Basically we(class) are all failing because of the transition to NCLEX style questions for our exams. Is there a website that I can practice taking those style of questions pertaining to the different chapters assigned in the book?
I have went to evolve's website that the book recommends but they give you 5 questions only. The same questions are on the CD that comes with the book. We are all studying, taking notes, and still failing the tests. After asking the professor about what we can do to better our scores she said to get a tutor. LOL I hope someone can help us!
BTW... the last class of 17...4 passed.
