hi everyone..Im preparing for my nclex rn, Now, Im stuck between this two books Mary ann Hogan comprehensive nclex rn and Saunders 5th edi. Any advices on which one will you prefer on passing this exam.. thanks
MamuhmiaRN 9 Posts Jan 11, 2012 I used Saunders and Lippincott. Never heard of the other one you mentioned. I believe if you practice practice practice those NCLEX questions from whatever book you decide to go with, the better your chances at passing. good luck!!!
maia718 89 Posts Jan 11, 2012 i think ur right. practice, practice and more practice is the key to pass the exam.. I've started reading many books but when i answer drills I realized only small portion of what I studied left in my memory. By the way did you took nclex rn yet?
MamuhmiaRN 9 Posts Jan 11, 2012 Yes, back in August. Passed the first time. I used nclex questions throughout nursing school to prepare me for tests. Did your school offer you an NCLEX course before you graduated?
maia718 89 Posts Jan 11, 2012 No! because I graduated from Philippines- so my school offered review for local nursing board of Philippines only and preparing/reviewing for Nclex-rn would be personal option. Have u enroll to any review centers or just the 2 books you have mention?

Jan 11, 2012 Took it a few years ago.Do lots of practice questions and don't expect to know everything in detail. They put a lot of questions on that test about topics that I will swear with hand on Bible we never/rarely covered in school, so it came down to applying what I did know to make the best guess. Must have worked.
maia718 89 Posts Jan 11, 2012 how long did you prepare for the exam? how many questions you answered everyday?
