So I failed my first NCLEX attempt. I wanted to find something that helps with prioritization since that was a weak area for me..Any tips be it books or online course reviews?

Sorry to hear that...Just take courage and also add prayer in the study. Can you try this book the author is LACHARITY . I am using in it for my July 20 exam. Different treads will give you more information about this book. It is about delegation, prioritization and..... The one I am using , i find it at my local library...Good luck !!! Pray for us .

It's called Prioritization, Delegation, and Assisignment, but Linda A. Lacharity....I bought my copy at Barnes and Noble, for $29.95, I'm finishing it up today, I test tomorrow :-D So far it seems to be very helpful for answering priority, has great rationales.
Thank you :)

That Priority, Delegation, and Assignment book is definitely a good book, I also used it and I got much better with those questions. Don't worry about failing, can't do anything about it now except start studying for the next time! And don't focus and what you may or may not have gotten wrong, because you probably won't see those same questions next time. Just study like you haven't taken it before. I have failed 3 times already and am about to take it again next week (hopefully for the last time!). You will pass. The hardest part is over (school). You can do it. I wish you all the luck in the world and will be keeping you in my prayers.

I took the Kaplan course. While it may seem expensive, it was well worth it for me. They not only teach content, they teach proper test taking skills and how to pick the right answer even when you are unsure. I highly recommend buying at least the Kaplan study guide but the class and all the resources was well worth it. I took 75 questions in 35 minutes. I was the fourth one to start and the first one to finish.

wow, thats great!! CONGRATULATIONS! I too need help.. i need to take my NCLEX RN for the second time! Did you only use kaplan to prepare? Did you just do questions after question, or also reviewed content via another review book?
I used only Kaplan and some hand me down flash cards I got from a friend. Kaplan has the actualy class, videos, MANY mock exams, flash cards, HUGE question banks and a method to the madness. There are so many resources in the Kaplan library. I worked 40 hours a week and felt like I studied another 80 hours per week for 2 months straight. Really though, Kaplan teaches you test taking methods that are priceless. It is well worth looking into.
