i will use Suzanne's plan..i will run to the bookstore today and buy Saunders i think it would all be worth it..i failed my first attempt which sucks..but all i have to do is move on..what can i do ... whats done is done.. and ive heard people who followed suzanne's plan and passed... so i will do the same..and i will also read my book...

i also just noticed...in the beginning of every chapter of my FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING by Craven..is a Critical Thinking practice.. well for those interested ..

ive been doing it :) and its good.. I'm using that on my 2nd take. it did help me to remember and know more information that i didn't know on my first attempt.. If only i know it before, the outcome might be good.. so much for regrets though, i'll take it again. good luck!

..[color=olive] amazon doesnt ship ordered books to this country..)
[color=#808000]any advise?

hi! i purchased my saunders' comprehensive book 3rd ed. from amazon, and have them shipped to manila. though it'll take time, like 2-4 weeks. when is your exam? much as i want to lend you mine, it's quite messy now.

i used suzanne's plan and it helped me a lot being a foreign grad who reviewed on my own. i took the nclex last month. i did it the first time, by god's grace, and with 75 questions.
hi ezbsn, i think suzanne is recommending the 3rd edition in her revised plan. are you a filipino? if you are, you can have a relative run to c&e bookstore in recto, manila and send it to you. that will be cheaper, i think. c&e also offers a philippine printed copy of that book, which is half the price of the original us print. it also goes with a cd practice questions.
god bless!

the philippine printed copy that is 1/2 the price cannot be shipped out of pi. more than likely it will be confiscated.

it is quite odd that there is a version that is 1/2 the price of the us copy but it is also that same price in australia, singapore, thailand, and malaysia (us price). do not trust that it is a legal copy. the book is the us price all over the world.

[color=olive]what if you only have the 2nd ed of saunders? is that ok? :uhoh21: ( because i'm foreign educated and presently working in the me, amazon doesnt ship ordered books to this country..)
[color=#808000]any advise?

second edition is quite old. there are none of the new format questions in that book.

suggest that you have a family member order it for you and then send it to you.

i really appreciate your support.. and thank you.:icon_hug:

anyhow as ms.suzanne has suggested, i'll just ask a friend to buy one for me asap..

[color=#556b2f]i'll have my exam not later than july this year...

[color=#556b2f]maybe i'll just have to finish the book since i started it already..just to refresh some knowledge..

check out our websites amazon link: https://allnurses.com/nursingbooks/shop.php

left side has link to: test preparation & review

can look at many books and test materials to decide which is right for you.

i used a saunders books to pass lpn in 1977 and later rn exam in 1982 in paper and pencil days so it has stood the "test of time" in being great resource and is constantly updated.
