What I studied for the Boards

Hi everyone,

I just want to let you know if you are looking for some study advice.

All I did was read the Saunders Book 2-4 times and did the CR-Rom that came with the book. Also I read the ATI book 2 times. I passed the board with one attempt. Also make notes on things that you did not remember right away.....such as labs, burns, renal....anything that you aren't sharp on. Read those everyday.

That is what I did, hopefully this will help!!!!

You retained a lot from nursing school. Most people have to spend more time studying. But in the end, some work versus lots of work, as long as the NCLEX is passed, it is all for the good!

Congrats! That is a great book, you will do great if you read that! I got that book while I was still in school and it helped me a great deal when I had tests. When do you take the boards?

No test date yet but I plan on taking it late June or early July.
