The issue may not necessarily the source of the review, but how one approaches the NCLEX itself: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.

Don't look at content; you know most of the material because you passed nursing school; begin to do questions related to each concept; review questions and rationales; ANY rationale you struggle with, THEN review content. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Also, find out what concept you are having weaknesses in your report, then give those questions priority in your review.

Yes I think that's my problem. I know my content, I have been studying for a long time (including in nursing school). As far as approaching the test and determining what exactly the question is asking and what topic and subtopic it falls under, I believe is my problem. Thanks for the reply :)
