Superior Nclex-Pn Review

Good study tips- check out my website also www.pntestreview.com

Here is a link to a good article about studying techniques: https://www.psychologytoday.com//study-better-space-it-out And some good tips:... Whenever possible, study in an environment that is similar to the testing environment as this will reduce your stress when you get to the testing center. Recall is enhanced when the environmental context is similar during both the encoding (learning) and recall phases, and is one reason why studying in a quiet place is generally preferable to a noisy one. Spread studying out over several days, rather than cramming. Say you’re going to spend 10 hours studying a particular topic, it is more effective to spend that time as 10 one-hour sessions, or 5 2-hour sessions, or even 2 5-hour sessions, spread out over two or more days, memory recall is better than if you spend one marathon 10-hour session. This is why it is so very important to review everyday. Obviously, you cannot review everything everyday, but make sure you frequently review the things that are most challenging to you. Avoid multitasking when learning difficult or dense material. Research has found that although multitasking does not impact recall, it is extremely detrimental to the encoding process. Multitasking divides attention, takes up valuable short-term memory space, and negatively impacts on long term memory formation. Review information you’re trying to memorize right before you go to sleep. Deep sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation. This is a good time to spend a few minutes reviewing a chart or going through some flashcards. To further enhance your memory, try to recall the information shortly after you wake up or just prior to going to bed. Self-quiz frequently by recalling information from your memory. Every time you access a memory, you strengthen it. So, not only does self-quizzing help you identify your areas of weakness, it also helps you retain the information for later recall by strengthening the neural connections.

Study your drug categories, think if it this way- Category A- Alright Category B- Be careful Category C-cant do it Category D- Definitely don't do it.... Category X- Never try This is straight from the FDA website FDA PREGNANCY CATEGORIES The FDA-assigned pregnancy categories as used in the Drug Formulary are as follows: Category A Adequate and well-controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters). Category B Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Category C Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. Category D There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. Category X Studies in animals or humans have demonstrated fetal abnormalities and/or there is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience, and the risks involved in use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweigh potential benefits. http://ow.ly/w6p6S See more
