hELLO I'm studying for the NCLEX and all I've been doing is questions, but i wanted to know how long should we do this for. Please help thanks

Thanks fo much for your help i will do that. Good luck on your studing and I hope we both pass. Again thanks alot.

If u don't know the dse. in the question..don't guess! look it up on your book. Then review the rationales...

i reviewed in kaplan and i also reviewed the saunders NCLEX review. but i failed my first take. so i dont know ryt now if wat im gonna do coz as my self the exam is so hard. and im thinking if im gonna take a second take or attend a other review center again.

When I took the NCLEX four years ago, I was a single Mom with 4 kids and working full time! I used the Saunders NCLEX book . I tried all the others but now that I have been there done that.....Saunders was the most like the real thing. I also paid a company called the HURST review. It was available on line with printouts. It quickly reviews content while making it very entertaining and they will refund you your money if you don't pass. I don't know about you but at the end of two years, I could not tell you one thing I learned from the first semester of college!

Saunders is still the best NCLEX review book. But its QnA is easy.

Thanks a lot, Sir Noy..

If you want free NCLEX questions, then I have prepared Free Online NCLEX Review here.

I was told that you need to do at least 90 questions per day.  To take a notebook and  do 30 questions and then score them.  In the beginning do a comphrensive variety.  After you score them on the ones you miss write beside it if it was a Peds question or Med Surg or OB or what ever and look after a week and see what your weakest link was.  If you did well in everything but Med Surg then that is what you need to study, don't study the subject you are good in just to make yourself feel better.  Now start to break it down if it was Cardiac question or Endocrine question you missed write that after it and see again where your weakest link is.  Now study that.   Also write after it if you missed it because you didn't trust your first instinct and see how many times that happens. When you are consistently getting a 75% then why aren't you taking the NCLEX.  This is what I did and I passed first time with 75 questions and I was so sure that I would never do it!!

I think studying small chunks at a time can be effective for many people. I love the NCLEX study cards. You can take them with you, and when you are sitting in a traffic jam, you can even take out a few cards and learn. The small steps, works well for most people.

Hello Guys, I just have a question...I been to privete school for LVn im almost done, honestly I learn so lil becuase english is my second language.  So many book, but when im read i have no time to do the hw so many things....so now im about to done and sit for study for my NCLEX -PN exam, pls let me know how to study it...i have been reading the Saunders Comprehensive Review PN chapter, and do the CD system by system. should i do it that way??? because I have been ask alot of info. everyone say you need to understand what the school teach you then start to study , but for real alot of ppl in my class got everything they teach. so please help .

Is there an outline that I can use to study fro the NCLEX?

Hiya, I have heard Kaplan has good and bad reviews... It's like consumer investigate first.. Also there are great review books... As far as an outline goes, I'm not sure, but you may be able to do a search online and find some... Best of luck to you and please keep us posted.. Teresa

pixie,

You say that you have graduated. I don't understand your question about the exam. Are you asking about both? Are you planning on sitting for the LPN exam 1st?

As far as studying goes, you have been out of school for 17 years.. You may want to take a refresher course to assist you with your studies..

Best of of luck to you, Please keep us posted.. Teresa

pixie, I have heard good and not so good about kaplan, Do some research and get some references.. Is there a college around you that may give a refresher course.. As far as a LPN goes, will you have to go back to school..Hoping to hear from you soon.. Teresa
