Taking NCLEX for the 2nd time Aug. 14 and need a study buddy!

Published

i graduated this past may 09 and took boards june 24. i didn't pass and my job has agreed to work with me in hopes that i will stay with them. so, i'm working 8-5 monday thru friday and all i'm doing is studying until i retake boards august 14th!! i really need help! i have the saunders book and am going to get the 2010 kaplan review book this weekend, but i feel like i'm missing something important. my job has been so great in working with me and not only do i not want to fail for my own reasons but i don't want my work to think they wasted their time on me. i am a great nurse! i know that, but i don't know how to answer questions. i felt as though the nclex didn't reflect my knowledge and competency as a rn. any advice would be much appreciated!! :mad:

i definitly think you should focus on the questions! i constantly looked at the bottom of the screen to see what question i was on, and then when i went past 75 i started freaking!! alot of mistakes i made was trying to rush through it, and i ended up making careless errors. there were others where i read the question and it said what will you teach the pt to avoid and i picked what you would have them do! so read it very closely, then the questions and then go back to the question again and see if the answers you read ring a bell the second time. if you do that, then there is no doubt you will do better than me, cause my brain was not where it needed to be!!

I have heard the priority, delegation and assignment book is VERY helpful. I haven't taken my NCLEX yet...July 27th is the big day:( but a lot of my classmates used this book & passed. They said the questions were very similar to the questions they got on NCLEX..hope this helps=)
