Study tips please!!

I found that doing practice questions was the best way to prep for exams! There's only so much I could get out of passively reading and re-reading my notes, so testing myself was a good way to assess how much of the material I actually understood. Doing practice questions will also help you develop your set of test-taking strategies.

I got my practice questions from my nursing med-surg textbook, as well as the supplementary study guide paired with that textbook. But there's lots of practice questions on the good ol' InterWebz too. Just Google "NCLEX questions " or something like that.

Nurselabs.com usually has some solid ones. I'm not a naturally good test-taker, but practicing NCLEX-style questions has helped me become a better one.

Here's a CV test to get you started. Good luck!

Medical-Surgical Nursing Exam 16: Cardiovascular Nursing (6

I read the text and I'm very big on understanding stuff I read. Try to know the patho, but really pay attention to manifestations (especially the ones that define the illness) and typical treatments (e.g. drugs). Then know the major nursing dx and interventions.

Then I do tons of practice questions, review rationales, mark the wrong or unsure ones, then go back to do them again after a while. I did over 2,000 questions for med-surg (my med-surg did covered almost all systems). If there's a weak area, I would review the text and do more testing.

Thanks. I've been really trying to focus on manifestations, medications and treatments and patient teachings and understandings. What did you for practice questions?
