Reddit reviews Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination

I thought this book was most reflective of actual questions on the test

Hi, I graduated last May and passed the NCLEX first try. Here's what I did:

Michael Linares videos from Simple Nursing: This guy helped with some of the tougher concepts.

Khan Academy is wonderful for disease processes and anatomy/physiology problems.

Go to the library and check out some NCLEX books, or find some used on Amazon. I recommend the Saunder's and Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment out of all the ones that I bought. I used these for everything.

Have you heard of www.quizlet.com ? You can look up tons of flashcards or make your own. There's an app so you can take them with you wherever you go, and it grades you each time you go through them so you can find your weak spots. Spelling counts on the points, and it did on my exams, which helped with some of those tricky words. You can also add pictures to your cards if you want.

I went through the Hurst review after graduation, which was a nice review. It's crazy expensive, and if I did it all over again I probably would have skipped it.

Get comfortable with the math! Go to a tutor if that's something your struggle with, as those are EASY POINTS. There's only one correct answer in math, unlike every other nursing school question.

Remember ABCIS for priority: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Infection and Safety! Every question you see, imagine if you can only do one thing for your patient. Read the questions carefully and look for key words. I went through and underlined those words. Break it down piece by piece.

I used powerpoints for my notes, as added diagrams and videos help me. You can also search easily for information when you are reviewing.

Good luck, and don't forget to breathe!

No worries and thanks /u/weeza29745!

U world is a mobile app that you can also access on other devices such as your computer (which I like the best becoz it gives easy 'search' option) or an ipad. One time payment gives you an access on ALL devices for a certain time period (around $50 for a month that you can renew for a cheap). There are also other plans for a longer period access, such as yearly, available on their website

It is Uworld NCLEX-RN. They also have PN for LPNs and USMLE for medical students.

Saunders is a comprehensive book that also comes in just 'question&answers' version.
Good luck, my friend!

Here are the sources:

Uworld-NCLEX-RN: https://www.uworld.com/NCLEX/nclex_rn_qbank.aspx

Saunders Comprehensive (there is a new 7th edition in the market I guess that just released); here is 6th Ed: https://www.amazon.ca/Saunders-Comprehensive-Review-NCLEX-RN-Examination/dp/1455727555

In case you had lots of priority or delegation questions (which you will get most of the time in NCLEX), both Uworld and the following book are helpful: https://www.amazon.ca/Prioritization-Delegation-Assignment-Exercises-Examination/dp/0323113435

Hope it helps

I just passed the NCLEX, and I would recommend:

• the National Council's questions if you have internet access.
  
  
• LaCharity's Prioritization, Delegation, & Assignment - it was awesome not only for the prioritization questions, but for learning general strategy.
  
  I thought both of these resources were harder than Saunders and closer to the level of difficulty of the NCLEX. You get content and rationales with the National Council's questions, too.
  
  I've also heard good things about the Pharm book recommended by /u/myname150, although I haven't used it personally.
  
  Good luck!

I've heard really good things about this book: https://www.amazon.com/Prioritization-Delegation-Assignment-Exercises-Examination/dp/0323113435

But any good source of practice questions (saunders, ati, etc) should have prioritization questions.

You need some PDA

This book will abuse you but make you understand the nclex style of questions
