I walked into NCLEX really scared...I walked out 40 minutes & 75 questions later terrified! The questions are short & sweet...No paragraphs with distracters...The questions are to the point...This med is given what would you expect? Patient states this who would the nurse see first? These are my tips on what to study...Found out today I passed! -Priority, priority, priority!!! -Isolation Precaution/Infection -Meds -therapeutic communication -glance at OB emergencies & peds emergencies -get a nclex review book, stick to it & study the entire book...do the corresponding questions... I liked Saunders because it reviews content. I know most people tell you "NCLEX isnt really knowledge based questions" bull-- If you dont know an orange is orange you cant pick it out from the bunch! Study content, buy the purple Kaplan book that costs $30, read all the chapters on strategies but focus on content...That book has an assessment of 180 questions than another 180 question assessment on the CD. Do them all...They make you think about all aspects on a certain situation. KAPLAN is much harder!! and complicated. Hope this helps. C
