Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Suzanne,

I have a question for you since you have students. You recommend Saunders hands down and I wanted to know what other study material you recommend. I have the Saunders Q&A book and I use the NCLEX review book from the Nursing Education Consultants. We had Kaplan come to our school today to go over what they give. They said they have more higher level questions than anyone else which is more like the NCLEX. Versus some reviews that have recall/knowledge questions. Is this true? Do you think Saunders has more higher level questions?

I'm taking the Hurst Review now and love it but I'm wondering how Kaplan is. I guess I feel like I'm missing something because some of my classmates are taking Kaplan. Did any of your students take review courses and if so, which one. Oh, we also have Meds Publishing coming to do a free live review for us since we paid for their programs during school.

Thanks!

Tiffany

Hallo Suzanne,

I am stil reviewing for the NCLEX, and I would like you to ask for some suggestions as i know you teach also studens with English as a second language.

As a foreign educated nurse I had to pass the CGFNS exam, and i have passed it. How is the NCLEX exam related to the CGFNS? Is the NCLEX harder ?

How do you motivate your students to keep going ?

About my study -material: I have Saunders, NSNA Alice Stein, and I had also some old books KAPLAN 2000,etc. Can you send me also some info ?

Does it make sense to look in the older books too? (I have a lot of them ), or are they no more actual ?

Thank you Suzanne for your help! MULTUMESC !(In Romanian -thank you)

CGFNS is no longer a requirement for foreign trained nurses, excpet for those wishing to work right away in either Michigan or Illinois.. :)

I personally think that NCLEX is much easier than the CGFNS exam. And actually you have that is your favor, if you passed CGFNS the first time taking it, then you have over a 98.7% (think that that is the last number) chance of passing the first time.

My other personal preference is the Saunder's book and CD. I feel that they do the best job of explaining the rationale behind each and every one of the answers, both correct, as well as incorrect. I think that it is just as important to know and understand both.

I have added you e-mail address to my list, but deleted it from the thread. This site is actually Googled around the world, and I don't want anyone placed on a spammers list........... :)

there are some people out there just trolling for addresses. :o

Since I visited this page by the first time, I found as a foreing graduate a rigt place to be, to keep myself inspired with the nursing students world, updated with all the information and self experiences in this common goal to crack the Nclex, the huge step in our lives.

Now I just got my ATT after pass the english score as a requierement for the Board of nursing, my exam gonna be July 27, how exciting, I am looking forward to say, Hi all I am RN again, tuff transition from a Heart Institute in Havana to work as a Nurse Aide, but with this job I had learned a lot specially to be more appreciative with the work of PCts on the hospitals sometimes no really appreciated by others!

Guys I need support during this month left, my birthday is June 26, I plan to make an study plan for everyday, by aspects, now i am taking Kaplan review class, I feel pretty good answering questions, but doesn't mean anything this exam is more than that, sometimes, a bit of luck!

Suzanne I have been reading all your messages posted, thank you, thank you, for helping myself to keep inspired, need that, need to push myself in this end, I am working night shift at a Post Op, Ortho-Vascular unit, as a PCT, gonna ask for a week without pay before my exam, what do you think?

I am doing Delmar, Kaplan CD with 7 exams, saunders, Lippincot, Princetown, I don't count the questions but seems for me a lot, have to check more drugs and peds stuff!

For all of you that already pass my respects, for the rest of us hanging there waiting for a seat, good luck and keep saying I gonna pass this!

Suzanne i will be waiting for your personal opinion, as a foreing graduate we all have some special needs, thanks everyone for being that supportive.
