the prioritization, delegation and assignment book is by Linda A. Lacharity!! it is available at barnes and noble stores. I didn't use Saunders or Kaplan RN book so i can't help you with that!! good luck

I used ExamCram for content reveiw( CD is amazing but has a few errors), Kaplan strategies book from my local librairy and Lacharity book!! And passed with those book!! Hope this help and good luck!!

sorry to hear that!! like agldragonrn said, lacharity book is amazing and is a must. i also used the examcram for content review and i loved the cd!! don't get discourage, you can do this!! i will be praying for you!! good luck!!

I loved the Exam Cram!! I will also suggest that you get the LaCharity book. if you don't want to buy it go to a Barnes and Noble store near you and just look through it! I used Exam Cram and Lacharity to pass mine last week!! Good luck!! I will be praying for you!!

Sorry for the late reply!! No it doesn't have to be the new edition. I did compared the new LaCharity book to the 2nd Ed version and not much of a difference between the two except for a couple added chapters. And i used the 2nd Ed LaCharity book. But for the Kaplan, I don't know about the old version because the library i went to had the new version. So if you want to compare go to a borders or BN to check!!

I am sorry to hear that!! I failed mine the first time around and it wasn't until preparing for the second time that i realized that just knowing the content is not enough, you have to know the strategies behind answering the questions. After failing the first time, i was so disappointed in myself, then i took a week off to relax and prepare myself mentally. After that, i went to the library and got the kaplan Nclex strategies book, ordered the LaCharity book and the Exam Cram. The Strategies book helped me learn to critically think about each question, what to look for etc... The LaCharity book helped me with answering the management of care questions ( Med/Surg, OB, etc...) and the Exam Cram help with the content without overwhelming me and the CD is great ( if you decide to buy the Exam Cram, make sure to following every direction) because it helps you with your weak areas and strenghten you more on your strong areas. I passed the second time with 265 questions by using those 3 books. So take a bit of break then hit the books. If you can afford the books, Barnes and Noble and Borders need to become your bestfriends!! Good Luck!! You can this!! I will be praying for you!!

I found out I passed today and this is my second time around!! I used Exam cram ( the CD is amazing though it has many errors) and LaCharity book!! Both books helped me a lot!! Good luck!!

I found out this afternoon that I passed!! Yes i did with 265 questions!! Thanks everyone for the prayers!! Goodluck everyone!! You can do it!!

This question is very confusing due to the fact that every book has a different answer. My answer will be to administer oxygen and LaCharity PDA book support that answer. It said in chapter 7: hematologic problem question 3 answer "hypoxia and deoxygenation of the red blood cells are the most common cause of sickling, so administration of oxygen is te priority intervention here. Pain control and hydration are also important interventions for this client and should be accomplished rapidly."

Elsevier ( p. 43&181) P.S: i suck at APA citing, sorry about that!!

I am a Minnesotan and a new graduate!! I was suppose to take the test last week but had to reschedule due to an emergency. So i will be taking mine in 2-3 wks. If you want to study together let me know!!

Can you please share with me your info? my email is [email protected] !! Thank so much!!

It is OK to feel that way Christina!! I felt the same way when i took mine in June and Failed!! Don't forget that only the smart ones make it through nursing school and you made it!! Now, we all just have to get thru this little detour!! Just take a week off to cry or whatever and get back on it and show this test who is boss!! Good Luck my dear!!

Just checked my result today and saw the "F" word!! I couldn't even cry. I am so disappointed in myself. I am taking a couple days off and then I am going to start all over again!! Just know that you are not alone!! Good luck with everything!!
