This may help. It's an IPhone app designed by nurses. It steps through over 70 questions and all the typical nursing math. Medical Math App

Questions on exams are not based on memorization. It is about application. Try to ask yourself "why should a nurse need to know this". Faculty and NCLEX assumes you know the material. They want to know if can use it or make a critical decision about it. Reviewing notes and flash cards is step one - know the material. Then get together with nursing peers and discuss the material. There are objectives in the book and hopefully faculty have given you learning objectives for each unit. Try explaining or describing concepts to your peers. If you can "teach" another about a concept without resources, you understand it. Nursing is very different than general courses. Apples and oranges. Read questions carefully. Identify key words. Breathe! Best wishes.

I agree. Most nurses use a medical floor as a stepping stone to other units. Nursing is a career that has many doors. A happy nurse gives the best care. Best wishes!
