Preparing for Nclex-RN exam

prairievem · Aug 30, 2006

Hello, friend and soon-to-be fellow nurse,

I have been out of nursing for 30 years and chose the Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN by Silvestri to review for the exam. I studied from the book and took tests from the CD (I answered hundreds of questions a day). Last fall I took the exam and passed, doing the minimum number of questions. It was a great refresher and I didn't need to take any additional course preparation. As I recall, it costs, maybe $45.

Best wishes and best of luck; you'll do well.

Thank you so much for replying me. I'm studying Saunder's too!(3rd edition). I'm reviewing book right now & after finishing, I'm going to start doing questions from the cd(plan:- 100qs/day ).

you can try the ncsbn learning extension site. they have a cheap online review course for less that $50 for three weeks. it you need more, there are 5-8 weeks available. its a detailed review, which includes concept reviews and exams. they have online professors for questions.

it doesnt take that long to review. i wouldnt recommend studying too long.

Thank you Kalayaan. I never tried any online review course but it's good to know that ncsbn provides 3 wks review course for less than $50. how about questions? are they letting you to do 1500-2000 qs after reviewing? are you preparing for nclex-RN exam?(coz..I need company for studying in library)
