Nursing Pocket Prep for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not quality questionsThe CEN questions are more so general nursing questions rather than specific to emergency nursing. Additionally, the questions are not well thought out or well written. Not ENA or BCEN quality. It feels like the author just scrambled to find 800 questions that could fit the criteria of CEN questions but isn’t familiar with the actual test. I feel I was misled and wish for a refund. Here’s an example of a “CEN Question”. “Which female organ is responsible for protecting a fetus?”.Disappointed Uverse CustVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Not Helpful and ExpensiveI downloaded this app to prepare for my CNOR certification exam. I hesitated to download it because it was $20 for one month and that in itself is absurd. I went ahead and downloaded it because I wanted to have the ease of studying right from my phone. I had it for a few weeks and then the app updated and lost all of my progress, annoying, but I kept using it. Since it lost all of my progress though, I began getting repeat questions. A few of the questions too are not aligned with the CCI CNOR information making some of these questions have incorrect answers. These questions are a lot harder than anything needed to know for the exam and ended up being the least helpful of my study materials. I would not recommend this app. If it was free or maybe $5 it could be, but absolutely not worth $20..Madelyn plant lady 26Version: 2.2.0

✓ PCCN PrepI personally don’t feel like this app helped a ton with preparing me for the type of questions I saw on the PCCN exam. I felt like the majority of the questions were basic knowledge questions, not critically thinking questions. There weren't very many questions in regards to patient symptoms that make you figure out the diagnosis, then treatment which is what the bulk of the PCCN exam is. I can’t speak for the other exams but I wouldn’t buy this again for future certifications..JkdghrVersion: 3.4.1

✓ CCRN Prep Not AccurateWould love to give this prep a better rating for CCRN prep, but unfortunately it’s not really close to the question format/phrasing/content seen on the official test. I have used the EMS prep app for both EMT and Paramedic, and they were both very close to the test; however, this is a long shot from adequate study for the CCRN. I took all 800 questions 2x on top of regular prep, so I was very familiar with the type of questions and content covered in the app. Unfortunately this is not the resource for CCRN question banks..Ejc7798Version: 3.6.5

✓ CCRN was way harderThe questions are fun for here and there and my friends and I enjoyed answering them at work from time to time but I would say the CCRN had WAY harder questions!!! I would recommend getting the practice test question set from AACN. Those were way more intense..SBAR36Version: 3.8.1

✓ MehAttempting to use this for CCRN. Questions are kind of okay. The rationales are not good. They are written to make you remember the answer to the question, not actually understand why the answer is what it is. A lot of rationales just restate the answer, not actually explain the content in depth or as well as I feel like it should. I feel like some of the content is incorrect too..Bk41794Version: 2.2.0

✓ Trash questions, don’t waste time or moneyI’m a laid back guy, and could count on one hand the number times I’ve actually written a review on something. Worst CCRN app I’ve used yet. Questions all arise from seemingly the same source per the explanation citations. Most of the questions are entirely too easy. The remainder are completely opinionated and not backed by any standards of care or peer reviewed literature. Prime example that actually made me write this review was “What is the patients and families biggest need upon being admitted to the ICU?” Per this whack app and singular source, it was that the Pt & family be reassured they are receiving the best care possible, two even dumber answers and I selected begin planning discharge needs *Standard of Care*. Seriously worst purchase I’ve ever made on App Store..Gracie RoweVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Not useful for ANCC MEDSURG-BCThis app has 100s of very specific, nuts-and-bolts type question and the ANCC exam is none of that. I walked out of the exam within the last hour and can tell you it’s composed of patient education, delegation and priority questions. I chose Pocket Prep due to all the good reviews, but in hindsight they’re all for different exams. The Saunders NCLEX prep, or searching “med surg” or “rn-bc” on Quizlet is much more useful. I did all 750 Pocket Prep questions and none of it appeared on the exam, don’t waste your time or money. Good luck!.Sitting in the grassVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Very expensiveI hope they charge less, especially if it is only for 12 months and more reasonable with the inflation nowadays. Some app offers a lifetime membership. The point here is, in reality, even if one paid for a lifetime app once they passed the test, they are mostly not going to use the app again ..Liliput7922Version: 3.10.0

✓ Discrepancies and Incorrect AnswersI don’t typically write reviews but felt compared to share. I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks in conjunction with reading CCI’s exam prep book (the administrators of the test) and have found many incorrect answers and discrepancies. I have emailed my questions to the support team and they have so far rewritten 1 question. This is respectable and the only reason I gave 2 stars. I’m not saying every question/answer is incorrect but take their answers with a grain of salt and trust your books/sources..RobfritzenatorVersion: 2.1.1

✓ It’s okGood concept, but some information is incorrect and questions have typos. Some questions are worded strangely, too. I think it’s good value and has been overall helpful for review, but the inaccuracies make me question my knowledge which puts me off track..Lynnnnn007564Version: 3.9.4

✓ OkApp is ok, it is convenient, but the NBCRNA version has tons of incorrect questions. Most the select all that apply tell you how many to select, if you do that,you get it wrong because it is always one more or one less than it says. For the $$ the questions should not have mistakes like this. Content focuses heavily on very obscure topics as well..KmcglassVersion: 3.6.7
