31 Drug Questions

Most of the drugs I didn't recognize. I think some of them were made up. Almost like they wanted you to think through something you didn't know about. It was a very intense test.

I used:

'Assessment and Delegation' did all the questions and rationals for all right or wrong.

'Exam Cram' I did hundreds of questions a day on CD with rational for all right or wrong.

'Saunders 5th edition' Questions on the disk, hundreds a day with rational for all right or wrong.

I signed up for 'Hurst Review' online. I would have saved the money if I had it to do again. I found myself falling asleep during the lectures. It is good if you need a refreshment of the basic material but I don't feel it helped for the NCLEX at all. I would save my money on that one.

The thing that helped the most was the notes I found on here.

Here is something else I did that I think helped a lot. If I got a question on the disk and I didn't know the material, I would research it and learn it before looking at the rational. Then I would see if I would choose a different answer. In the beginning I would find myself picking answer I though for sure were right but were wrong. The research helped me understand why I was wrong and how to look at questions in an NCLEX way.

I did the Pearson Vue Trick as soon as I got to my truck. It showed the same screen it always did after I signed up. After an hour of driving home I stopped at a McDonald's and used their wi-fi and got the pop up that says, 'The candidate has recently passed this exam.' I was so happy!!!

Good luck to those of you who are planning to take your test soon.
