I have the Saunders review book and I love it - it got me through Med/Surg II. I also signed up for a Kaplan class...but haven't decided if I will go through with it yet. I'll be interested to hear other comments!
I don't know the answer to this personally, but my aunt is a nurse educator for a hospital in Florida. They buy all of the Kaplan materials for their students, because apparently, they find it to be very effective. G/l!
Saunders. I received a free Kaplan RN guide to review and I found the Saunders RN Q&A and Comprehensive to be a much better set. You need to make sure that you have alot of alternate format questions to do. Those priority and select all that apply suck!
I think it depends on which style you prefer. I had the Saunders book throughout nursing school and took the Kaplan class before the exam. I found the Kaplan questions in the question bank to be at least equilivant, if not harder, to the questions on the exam. I was so worried when I was studying because I didn't seem to be getting any of them right. Then I felt like I breezed through on test day.
Thank you everyone with all of your helpful comments. At the end of my second semester senior year we have a Kaplan class to take to prepare for the NCLEX and I think I'll take that class. Until then I got advice from Nurse XY which he said it would be beneficial to go over NCLEX questions daily to get used to their wording.

ReplyDeleteI did the Kaplan program and passed the first time with the minimum number of questions. They both probably work well.
