Has anyone purchased the istudysmart.com study guides for excelsior? If so, do you think that it has helped you pass the Nursing Concepts Exams? They are expensive so I was wondering if it was worth it to buy.

i have been trying to do my own survay on what is the best way to study and istudysmart has not come up very often, I have seen chancellors, rue and I have seen some cd's made by former students on ebay, I just purchased one from ebay my self today. I tryed to figure out the best way to study and by reading this web site I am confused and not many nurses willing to answer how they studied for their exams, I hope you can get more answers than me, good luck ps I have Chancellors nc1 will take the test within a month

You have a very good point. Can anyone tell us what is the best material out there to buy in order to pass the nursing concepts is? Someone who has taken a couple of the tests already. I would really appreciate it.

The for-profit study guides no matter the company are rip-offs. #1 You don't learn what you need to learn in order to efficiently function as an RN. You memorize only what you need to pass the test. I learned everything from scratch and when someone asks me a question I have an answer and the info or theory behind my answer. #2 You can get everything you need to pass the test for free from Excelsior. Download and print their study guides. Purchase the book from http://www.half.com, you don't have to get the most recent edition. A book several years old will have the exact same information.
