Studying for NCLEX and....

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I don't know how or really where to start lbs. How did you study for it? Thank you for your advice in advance :nurse:

when's your exam? if you got lot's of time start with content..do it by body systems like cardiac ( normal function, the diseases, cardiac drugs) then do lot's of questions..familiarize yourself with nclex type of questions that is very important. hope this helps :)

I disagree with studying content primarily. I did like a fiend and I must say it was a huge waist of time.

Review the basic material yes but the test I felt had more to do with your reaction to a hypothetical situation. The information in the question and alot of the answers was "grey" very vague.

Strategy is what you absolutely need to study, always think safety but dont over react thats were the education comes into play.

Trust your instincts if you second guess your toast.

I had 2/3 multiple response questions and the answers were mixed one intervention, one pt. education, one clarify ect.

My strategy read the question read the answers one at a time and say absolutely true or dont pick it. ( or vice verse if the questions is asking for whats wrong).

I did....

Saunders with the CD Rom almost 1/2 of the 5,000 questions

Exam cram questions and review about 1,700 questions

And the Kaplan book 200 question

Kaplan was all strategy and helped the most I felt.

One more piece of advice alot of the multiple response I picked only 1 answer or all of them, if you have a problem with doing you can potentially run into trouble.

And be prepared to see alot of meds you have never heard of, again in my opinion what a said above is true IF YOU READ THE ANSWER (S) AND CANT SAY 100% TRUE DONT PICK IT!

and the pass rate statistics for us educated 1st time test takers is 84.9%

repeat test takers 36.16%

I passed 1st time 85? 2/3 multiple response.

Good luck

I disagree with studying content primarily too but the OP asked where she should start & starting with content makes sense to me doesnt make sense to just start answering questions if u don't know ur content but that's my opinion.

when's your exam? if you got lot's of time start with content..do it by body systems like cardiac ( normal function, the diseases, cardiac drugs) then do lot's of questions..familiarize yourself with nclex type of questions that is very important. hope this helps :)

I haven't really set an official date yet. but not anytime soon lol. But thanks for this strategy I'm gonna use this!!! :)
