The first one was more of a quick but very good review of everything imaginable and quizzes at the end of every second and then four 75questioned timed tests. The second one is very very in depth with extensive quizzes. I would overall recommend the second one a bit more than the first just because of how in depth it is. If you just read all of that information and take all the quizzes it's a done deal, you'll pass! The other huge thing is this book: Prioritization, Delegation, Assignment by Linda A. LaCharity, Candice K. Kumagai, and Barbara Bartz. That book is a lifesaver and an aboslute must to get. I failed the nclex the first time I took it because I had no idea how much of the test was goign to be on prioritization and delegation. I would say 75-80% of the test is questions that were similar to the ones in this book. It was truly my lifesaver! I would reccomend doing as many questions as possible. When they say do 1000-2000 questions that is for real. I didn't barely do any the first time and I failed it, and this time I did aprox. 1500 and I passed! when prioritizing who is the most important patient to be seen remember this: 1.ABC 2. Change in LOC 3. Change in VS 4. Unstable metabolic disorders (hypo/hyper glycemia, electrolyte shift) 5. Pain 6. Any treatments you need to perform 7. Family requesting you to come/Discharge teaching
That is a must know and what helped me significantly! No worries you can do this if you just believe believe believe. Unwavering faith, let no thoughts of limitations enter your mind. You are an RN! If you need anything more just please let me know, I'd be more than happy to help you.
It Truely Depends On How You Study,at This Point I Am So Lost I Cant Seem To Find My Way. I Have Looked Into The Ncsbnextension Learner And Will Be Signing Up For It Probably Tomorrow For The 8 Weeks Its Worth It Because If I Take The 5 Weeks And I Have Not Yet Completed It Or Donot Feel Comfortable To Take The Nclex At That Time Then At Least I Would Have 3 Weeks More Which Comes Out To Only 10.00 A Week ,the Other Way, You Would Have To Extent It And It Is More Costly, I Plan On Truely Getting It Togeather With The Help Of That Site And The Help Of God.
I Also Will Be Reviewing The Prioritization Book Which I Have.. So Stating Tomorrow Down To The Real Game Plan... Thanks Again................
When I first read this thread I immediately signed up at NCSBN and I really like it. I'm doing the 3 week study session. I am also doing Saunders, but I like NCSBN better. I test in about 2 weeks and my confidence is much better. I hope that doesn't mean the questions are too easy. My scores are consistently much higher with NCSBN than Saunders. However, I've gained alot of insight into questions and answers that sort of overlap so my scores are beginning to go up in Saunders ( I was consistently around 60% with Saunders and now I'm up towards 70%). Good luck to us all.[/quotE
sauders book is not so clear not liking it at all so I am taking the ncsbn course on line starting tomorrow!! good luck
This is d.page, I have been an a LPN for 2 years and did the LPN to RN bridge program. I just recently passed my NCLEX-RN test (Sat., Aug. 2nd)and would also endorse the "Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment" book by Lacharity, Kumagai, & Bartz from Mosby/Elsevier. On of my instructors gave out worksheets on scenarios and I went to the bookstore and found the exact book that she got the worksheets from (I found it on my own). It will challenge you, but you will be glad you got it. Good luck nurses !!!
