Prayer and hard work equals success

[ranran]

I recently took the nclex exam and passed and I know that without prayer I would not have done so. I studied so much, taking a break on Sundays only. I used about 9 resources, but when I went to the exam I was shock. I Saw medications that I have never seen in my life. My exam was just about meds, pioritization and infection control. I was not asked simple questions. At times I ACTUALLY felt clueless and I Just prayed and continued. I did 75 questions in 3 hours and was praying that I would not go over 75. I did not take a break, out of fear that I would run out of time, even when my bladder was full I just kept on going. I cried on my way home and felt no book could match up to that exam. Please avoid negative forums PlEASE. The journey has not been easy for me, since I was not trained in this country. I did not do any formal preparation just studied on my own.

resources-

kaplan-practice questions from kaplan. Kaplan questions prepared me for the nclex. I would say, they are best in terms of questions.

Saunders- The questions were no way close to the exam, but you need saunders for content only.

Hurst book- used it only for content, it explains the disease process .in a simple way

Lippincott-The questions were too easy.

nclex3000- Please use these questions to practice epecially the management questions.

Mosby- I HONESTLY FELT like Mosby questions help in Understanding the disease process, so I RECOMMEND it for content only. There questions were not even close to the exam.

EXAM CRAM- EXAM CRAM, PRACTICE THERE MANAGEMENT SECTION SO YOU can get an understanding of pioritization.

princeton, waste of time, as far as I AM CONCERN. There questions were not close to the exam and content not enough.

Overall I would recommend kaplan and exam cram. Please used Saunders for CONTENT ONLY.PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE YELLOW BOXES.PRAY PRAY PRAY and do not cram, it does not work.

Congratulations!!! Thanks for the breakdown regarding the resources. I too am using different resources and I have thought the same of some of them. The Nclex 3000 is that the Nclex 3500 ? I see this recommended and want to make sure it's the right one.
