  5. Best Way to Prep For NCLEX?

    yedwards42 replied to blingle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Very honestly, it will be hard for you to study for NCLEX during nursing school. Though your courses and tests should help prepare you. Does your school give you NCLEX type exams (NCLEX questions)?...

    yedwards42 replied to rainbowl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi rainbowl, Preparing for NCLEX (and anxiety/nerves) can get the best of us! It's a hard exam to study for as it's very broad. What you're feeling is normal, though like others said try to continue...

  8. failed the nclex with 265 questions, now what

    yedwards42 replied to jjkort10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi~ I'm sorry you didn't pass, though you seem to have the right attitude and stamina to get back on the saddle. NCLEX is just a test, and while I did pass, I said to myself I would do my best and if...

    yedwards42 replied to happy time's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi ~ You really need to know core content - common illnesses/assessments/interventions/treatments within each body system, lab values, infection control (what diseases are airborne, contact or...

  11. Nclex in 5days. What to do?

    yedwards42 replied to Kathrene,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is part true, as there are some "vague" or "obscure" questions within NCLEX testing on critical thinking skills and not so much nursing. However, that said, I'd say at least half my test was on...

  12. Nclex in 5days. What to do?

    yedwards42 replied to Kathrene,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you have your core content (including fundamentals, infection control and priority/delegation) you can whip NCLEX this next time. I'm sure since you are familiar with NCLEX you reviewed the...

    Hi ~ I took NCLEX in August (and passed at 102 questions) and studied almost two months with several resources: HURST, Kaplan, NCSBN, Saunder's and La Charity PDA. I also used the 35 page study guide...

  14. About to take NCLEX 2 weeks from now. Any advice?

    yedwards42 replied to cml_413's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi ~ I feel for you as I felt the same way prior to my NCLEX. I had NCLEX scheduled 8/7 and extreme panic/anxiety set in a week before. It was so bad, I rescheduled my exam for three weeks later....

    yedwards42 replied to Soontobern517's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  17. "real" nclex course better than store bought book?

    yedwards42 replied to northmississippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can speak of Hurst as I used Hurst, Kaplan, Saunder's, NCSBN and La Charity. I used all these resources for different reasons. I attended Hurst, and it was a good course to "hear" and review core...

  18. BEST resource for nclex prep

    yedwards42 replied to laughlove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi ~ I used all the resources you listed. I felt each resource had a bit different information (i.e. some resources were more concise/narrow whereas others were broad and gave additional...

  19. Is PDA + Study guide enough?

    yedwards42 replied to rnchick2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. What to look over night before NCLEX?

    yedwards42 replied to LittleCandles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the others, while I reviewed common materials during the day (labs, infection control, etc.) the day before my NCLEX - you want to cut it off at a decent time, and have some...

  21. Is PDA + Study guide enough?

    yedwards42 replied to rnchick2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    La Charity PDA is great for priority/delegation type information/practice, however, in my opinion it's not enough (more a supplement) to studying for NCLEX. Though from studying ATI and NCSBN if you...
