Hello Maryann, all I used was Uworld...just focus on Uworld, it's very similar to the Nclex. I never touched the Saunders book at all, what I did was I only focused on Uworld and did like maybe 50 questions and read the rationales for the ones I got right and the wrong ones...if there's a word you don't understand, Google it. When taking the practice tests on Uworld don't over do it with like let's say 80 questions...just stick to 50 set of questions everyday. When you are 2 weeks away to take nclex then you can take 80 questions and you'll see the difference in your scoring, you'll probably say...well I already know the answers cause I'm getting the same questions, but remember you'll know why that's the answer, DON'T MEMORIZE Tha answers, KNOW WHY IT'S THE ANSWER. If in the beginning of Uworld your getting low percentages in your scores, don't worry and don't get discouraged...I had them too very low scores as a matter of fact, when you get to Nclex and your sitting on that chair of course you'll be nervous, it's normal, but I promise you when you see the style of questions on it, you'll be happy you just focused on Uworld. Best of luck if anything let me know.

Sorry to hear about you not passing the first time, but dont worry...at least you know now what to kinda expect. If Kaplan didn't work for you, just focus on Uworld...you'd be surprised in the similarities on the content. Uworld was the only study source I focused on, just try it out, & you can thank me later:-) Alot of other people were throwing me different things to study and I felt very overwhelmed, so I said to myself let me just try Uworld see what happens. Let me remind you I only studied Uworld 2-3 hrs a day, but read the rationales!!! Uworld prepares you with Delegation, Priority questions for example... What client would you see first, which client would you put by themselves in a room (isolation) U will do great the second time around if you just focus on Uworld, but you have to commit yourself in studying the rationales I can't stress that enough. Please let me know if you read this, and if you have a question I'll try my best to answer u. Have a good day.

I'm in Texas.

We are 3 lvns total... I will have training and let go on my own till ready. I don't have experience with clients who are ID, the lvns who have worked they're also started freshly new at this facility. They're maybe 40 clients in this facility that I will be responsible for when I'm on my own. The majority of them are very well stable, just a few diabetic dependant patients, I'll be the only lvn on these trips with the clients.

Hello fellow Nurses, I'm just writing wanting to know if I made a good decision on my career as a nurse. I will be starting my new job soon and wanted to know if working at a place for intermediate care facility for Intellectual disabled clients, is good for a new graduate. I had my interview yesterday and my boss will be starting me at 17 dollars an hr, also she asked me if I wanted more, but I didn't want to sound greedy, so I settled for 17. My boss also mentioned to me that if I ever needed some adjustments on my pay to let her know, she seemed very sweet throughout the interview, so I basically praised her, for being such a sweet person and making my interview as smooth as possible. In this job I will only work Wed & Thursday and every other Friday double shifts with 5 days off or 4 when I work fridays. I was also told some days I'll be taking my clients to the beach, zoo, movies and other amenities etc for their enjoyment. I basically just wanted to know if I made a good decision and if 17 dollars is good for a new LVN grad. Thank u

Great Job, Congratulations!!!

Best response I ever got from a clinical instructor was, "treat each patient like they were your loved ones." Worst: "I can't believe you made it this far, and I mean that in a not so good way." & that's because I got to my clinicals 5 min late, but I thank her for saying that...I'm punctual everywhere I go now, 15 min early.

Did u Pass??

Use Uworld...you won't regret it.

Passed

Thank you and you'll be fine, just focus on the rationales, right or wrong. Goodluck if you need some help on something let me know, I'll try my best to help you out.

Don't know of you saw my reply, I'm fairly new at this.

You know, to be quite honest when I first tried Uworld, I was bombing tests left and right lol. In the beginning Uworld to me was very difficult, as you can see I was scoring 42% and other times I went as low as 38% but as got going on the program and reading the rationales it kinda flowed afterwards, it helps u find the correct answers. Now regarding your question about Uworld or Nclex difficulty...Uworld was alot harder, but like I said it prepared me so well, that I saw Nclex kinda easy. Hope I answered your question. Just read the rationales and understand them, if don't know something Google it, find out what it is. Goodluck if I can help with anything else let me know.

Please do check it out, you wont regret it. Uworld was my only study source, I passed Nclex with 85 questions. Uworld is very similar to Nclex. Read my article that I wrote for great inspiration.
