Pass Nclex-RN c Feur Nursing Review/Mosby Q & A/Judith Miller

[yat777]

I would like to share what I used to study Nclex-RN,hopefully it will be helpful to some people..

I am a visual & audio person,so:

Audio tape: Feur Nursing Review. I bought the CD set $399?when I studied for Nclex-PN in 2009,but I bought RN version not PN version, so I have studied the material thoroughly once before. I study again this time. It's easier for me to study because I still have notes I wrote 2 yrs ago on the study book for me to review. The instructor explain scientific reasons that cause each symptoms, so I don't have to memorize. I can re-play CD until I really understand the rationale. The instructor also give tips on how to take the test. After finish studying the materials, I learn so much more than I learn from school. It's a great content review. The 1200 questions booklet is okay. True, there are some error answer, but only a few. The booklet don't give lengthy explanation for correct answer and few to no explanation for wrong answers. Drugs are mentioned in the study materials,but not enough in depth s/e or how to administer drug info. But, like i said, i bought the set 2 yrs ago, maybe they change is now.

Visual/Audio DVD: Nurse Tutor Video by Judith Miller. If you don't like study a book, you may try this DVD. The instructor is also so good at explaining the rationales and gives tips on how to answer questions. I can re-play the DVD until I understand the material. I didn't finish listen to all DVD, I use it as a refresh review 4 days before I took NCLEX. The DVD has very good information on drugs throughout every DVD. Drugs are repeatedly mentioned,so help me remember. The content is not as complete as Feur Nursing,but honestly Feur Nursing is a bit over-whelming to study because there is too much info. The set may contains a workbook for questions,but I didn't use it. I borrow the DVD from my hospital's library. Last time I check,the DVD set cost 599.

Finally, I use Mosby's Q & A books not the cd to answer 800 M/S Q's + 278 Drug Q's. I only answer M/S Q's because I have answer Feur Nursing's 1200 Q's which contains 300 Q's for each subject and My score for M/S is low 60-68. The Mosby book has very good questions and rationales for both right & wrong choices. The questions are applicable questions,not straight forward questions like Saunder. I also read each rationals whether I got it right or wrong.

Overall, I think I over study for Nclex. There are many people using only one resource to pass. But, I am glad I over study,because I can always apply this knowledge later on. Sometimes, I feel I know more than some senior RNs who I am working with. Hopefully, I have helped answer your concerns for those who are as confused & stressful as I was before I pass the exam. Gook luck!

Was the information Judy Miller covered enough as far as content review?

i think so. I learned a lot about drugs from Judy Miller's DVD. I didn't buy the DVD. I work at a hospital and borrowed the DVD. I think you can check with hospitals who you do clinical with.
