USC RN Residency Program for Sept. 2018

hello kevin418! the first time i took the nclex i used kaplan. kaplan is basically practice exams and videos that are like powerpoint presentations you can watch. even though kaplan was a pretty good site for me to study from, i prefer uworld much more because of the pictures they provided instead of videos...it helped me learn and study a lot more. it really depends on your study habits and whether you get more from videos or pictures, etc. uworld also had practice exams you can take. i also studied from two books....the prioritization, delegation and assessment book which really helped me and the saunders book which gave me background knowledge on cardiac, neuro, etc. i def recommend those books if you can and in the saunders book focus on the main systems that are mentioned the most on the nclex. in terms of how long it took me to retest, there were some problems that i went through that made me wait for months for my ATT and it took me forever to reach to someone...it turned out my email address was incorrect in their systems (which was really frustrating tbh because i just wanted to retake my exam). i took my first exam in july and took it again in december. it should take you around one month to get your ATT. i hope this helps!
