Physiological adaptation - HURST or Kaplan. Need your help

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi,

I took my exam last May 1 and I failed with 265 and I have been depressed ever since. I studied full time for many months and did about 10K questions. My disadvantage is that I am an international nurse and besides from lacking some critical thinking there was some content that I was not familiar with. Anyways I am trying to stay positive and start studying again, the thing is that I received my report and I was below passing level in physiological adaptation and I took kaplan sample test and I had really low scores in that area 29%. My question is? where should I study the content needed for physiological adaptation from? I am really bad with tubes and procedures and of course I got a lot of questions on that. I read saunders cover to cover twice but did not see much of it and I didnt see those topics in Hurst Lecture material either.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you know if that material is covered by hurst or kaplan? Please help me I need to pass this test. Thank you.

Hi, I am a international Nurse as well. I also failed the NCLEX with 265 Questions. Infection control was my only area below passing score :no: !!! I am thinking about the Hurst Review as well.

Hi Feek, actually Infection control was my only above passing area and it was because i memorized it from the 35 page review.

Did you sign up for Hurst? I still think about it because it is a lot of money.

Hi tatanata,

I just recently used Hurst and was very pleased with their services. They include chest tubes, procedures, positioning after surgery, etc within their lectures. With each system (Respiratory, etc) they include key procedures...I found their review very helpful and they make it very easy to understand.

Hope that helps...good luck!

Everything that RN403 said. Hurst is the one you need. To accompany that Davis Q & A RN book. Great upper level questions in that book. Stay Positive.

Thank you RN403 and Hdassah16 for your comments because I am not sure what the content in Hurst looks like but now I'm definitively enrolling.

Hi Feek, no I haven't enroll because of the same reason, a lot of money, I'm saving $$ to buy it. Are you thinking or getting it soon?
