  1. Meds, Meds, and More Meds!!!!!

    I had about 5-10 questions with meds on the nclex. I don't think you can really ever know all the possible meds. Some people I know got only 1 or 2... other's like me had more. Some of the meds I was familiar with from Kaplan - but most of the time ...

  8. Know any Nclex testing strategies?

    Pain is psychosocial except any of those 3 types of pain - because the pain is so severe the person cannot physically tolerate it. And each of those types of pain is associated with an obvious disease process - MI, Renal calculi, Burn. And can get w...

  13. Prioritization, delegation, and assignment AH!

    I have the EBook and it is all questions. I just take the practice test and score them myself. Like 15/20 = 75%. And then I read all of the rationales for every question! I don't think you are missing anything. It is a good book. Not what I thoug...

  15. How am I doing in Kaplan ?

    Don't put too much stock into those sample tests. The first two contained some content that I hadn't really seen before on Kaplan and the last one, IMO is the most valuable because it was all priority ~ which is what most people say the majority of ...

  19. Kaplan Class Session/

    PS. I PM'd you my study plan (for the last two weeks before NCLEX). Sometimes it helps to look at what you need to cover, write it all out in an organized way - and then just follow it. I tried to lump things together so I got some content reading a...
  20. LaCharity ebook typo or not?

    Firstly, I have found A LOT of errors in the LaCharity Ebook. And some discrepencies - such as where it says that you should first oxygenate a patient in sickle cell crisis - and every other source has said fluids first! That said, I think it should ...
  21. Kaplan Class Session/

    Hi! My school has a partnership with Kaplan so we had limited access during school - but after graduation we got the whole thing. We did a 2 week session post graduation and I found the first few days helpful where they explain the tricks and techni...

  24. Kaplan on demand...NEED HELP!!

    Hello! I am doing Kaplan also, although mine was linked through my school - so we went to a 2 week course after graduation and then we had access to the rest of the online materials (we had some access during school too). Our course is over when we ...
