Like Silverdragon said, consider Suzanne's Plan. I would also read through the Random Facts Sticky and the Infection Control Thread in this forum. Good luck!:D

I'm as nurse! It took me 2x's, but I owe it all to Kaplan. I took their

on-line course and did all of the questions and tests. Kaplan really helped me understand how to read the questions and how important it was to read each answer. The Kaplan "Question Review" was awesome. I tried ATI. It wasn't helpful and I wasn't successful the

first time. I did have to spend the money for the on-line course, but it was worth it and as I worked through I had a feeling that I would pass the second time. Don't despair! Try Kaplan and do the work on the course.

Great, it's nice to hear someone had good results with Kaplan.

I exhausted all of the Q bank questions, read all of the rationales. I failed once and I definately don't want to do this again. I'm scheduled in 5 days for my boards but I feel much better prepared this time. I never knew that pain was considered psychosocial for NCLEX I was taught in nursing school it was my fifth vital sign to assess, go figure, I probably missed a lot of those type of questions. Any advice?
