Some advise for those who are planning to give nclex

Know that not all exams are the same....I had maybe three(complex IMHO) pharm questions on my exam. The NCLEX is a combination of content knowledge an critical thinking/practical applied knowledge skills. The critical thinking/applied knowledge assists in determining what is not just the factually correct answer but also the best answer to the question. Good luck.

Hi everyone how's study is going?? The main reason to post this thread is I have a friend who just gave the nclex exam today morning. Unfortunately she did not make it but according to her
She got lots of pharmacology question and guys plz don't forget to study your endocrine system ..she told me she got question from thyroid, infection control and know your insulin range.
According to her she got SATA question too....drop and drag
And most delegation was top of the list...
So guys study this area like water in your life...
And nt least good luck and hope for the best
Bye

Well, you just gave great advice for your FRIEND to retake the exam, but it's not really applicable to those who still need to test.

The NCLEX has a bank of thousands and thousands of questions; once it ascertains you are weak in ANY area, you will receive more questions in that area until it "knows" you are in the passing range. Areas of knowledge you know very well you won't see much, because you will have answered them correctly the first time(s) you see them. Things you don't know much about will come back time and time again.

So, you see, it's not that anyone needs to study any more in-depth what YOUR friend had problems with. They need to study it all, of course, and concentrate on areas in which THEY are weak.

Best of luck to everyone.
