karen625 1 Post Mar 26, 2006 i need some help! i gotta take my nclex-pn in a month and i need some suggestions on some good books to study from. i already have saunders comprehensive review for nclex-pn, nclex-pn 250 new-format questions and nclex-pn made incredibly easy questions & answers. i'm not even sure where to start.thanks when i read this, i wanted to laugh because it sounded like it was me that wrote this post. heehee. i was havin the same problem though. i have the same books you have and i had no idea where to start. i finally sat down and decided to start on the saunders book including its cd. i try to do a few of new format questions too (saunders also has the new format questions). i was having a hard time on some of the chapters in saunders so i would use incredibly easy to see if that book could explain it a little better. i plan to read all of the incredibly easy as soon as im done with saunders. i hope all this reading works. anyway, not sure what youre gonna do but best of luck to you. im sure youll do great!
islandti_patty 23 Posts Mar 27, 2006 good morning.....my advice is, try the kaplan nclex-pn strategies for the practical nursing exam 2006-2007. i also ordered the online question bank for $79 dollars. i heard that these were the questions most like the ones on boards. my one friend took boards and didn't get this book that i recommended and failed, then she bought the book and all she could say was "i wish i would have had that book before i took boards" it has help in there on what kind of test taker you are, and how to reword questions. it seems really helpful...plus if you don't pass, there is a money back guarantee. i take my boards this morning at nine.....and i am really nervous.....but i studied from all the books you had mentioned, and my kaplan book....so hopefully i am successful and pass.good luck...and i will keep everyone posted.patty

I have SAUNDERS and plan to get KAPLANS. I am also using Sandra Smith's Review for NCLEX-PN. I haven'theard a lot about this particular book on this board or from others, but I find it helpful. Also, I had to pass ATI to graduate from LPN school. Their review material is good. The NCBSN website (ncbsn.org -look under learning extension) has information on a rather inexpensive review
