Hello,
I just moved from Canada to Massachusetts about 2mths ago. I have been a nurse RPN in Canada for the last 5 years. In order to be licensed in MA I will have to write the MA State Board Exam. I bought the NCLEX Practice Guide and it is really different from when I wrote the exam 5 yrs ago. In the US you have to know all lab results, IV's, pediatrics and maternity. As an RPN in Canada RPN do touch some of those areas but not as in depth as here in the US. My question is has anyone written the US exam and will the NCLEX Practice guide help me? OR is there any other references that you know of that will benefit. What also does not help is they still use the standard measurements and not metric. I am having a tough time. Please help.

I believe a NCLEX practice guide will be very helpful, I think the books still offer explanations for the correct answers. You could also check with the local community colleges about a NCLEX study coorifice.
