1st year BSN prepping for NCLEX

Hi everyone,

SO... I thought it was funny how people are throwing their first years worth of course work out when they dont realize that we will be writing the NCLEX-RN exam at the end of year 4.

My question is.. even though I have only just finished my first year, would you reccommend

I start my studying on the material now? Or do you think i should just wait until the end

of my program and then prep?

What kinds of resources are out there?

Thanks :)

On the premise that preparation for the NCLEX begins on the first day of nursing school, it would not hurt to begin working toward that goal now. But do not take valuable time from your regular studies.

I was wondering the same thing... How often does the test change?

yeah i dunno i mean, we are using the Ladewig book for contemporary materal-newborn nursing care (all of our books are canadian)... and they have NCLEX questions after each chapter.. and then more on the website.

But.. there are some things that we never really learned.. and im curious to know if everything will be on that exam or not. I know I just finished my first year, but you can never start too early,... and i will be graduating

August of 2012 because i am taking part in the fast track option that does a full 120 credit program in 3 years.. (we go through summer)
