    Hi blue eyed girlCingrats on passing. Why do you say it saved you big time. I thought there was no grade except if you failed? Or are you just assuming what you got? Just wondering. Thanks
    Yes, I'm assuming that low passing mark saved me, since I found the exam to be pretty intense and I found lot's of mistakes. Wasn't ready for so many pharm and mental health questions but I guess I did better than I thought

    First of all, whatever you study make sure you read it slowly and understand what you are reading. Try to read rationale from your prep guides and try to figure out why is something this way not the other. First time when I wrote my exam , I didn't study the right way , just went through the books and failed.

    Second of all, work on the questions you had on the exam. If you are to rewrite, that is.

    The books I used are: " Fundamentals of Nursing"- this is a must, start reading early so you have enough time for this book, but it's worth it.
    Also Prep guide 3rd and 4th ed and Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Practical Nursing for the NCLEX-PN , 16th edition.

    GOOD LUCK!

    congrats to everyone who passed! and to those who didn't, don't give up! use it as a learning experience & go for it again in May. Remember to study the rationale of any review questions you go through, that's the most important part. Choosing the right answer is one thing, but knowing why it's the right answer is so crucial to your success.

    Best of luck in your new career everyone

    Here is a great study guide I used for the PN exam. I didn't take any prep course what so ever. Just used the CPNRE prep-guide, and this NCLEX-PN study guide:

    where do you live?

    I'd assume everyone should have received their letter by now. I'd call the CNO (or regulating board if you live in a different province) and ask if yours was mailed out.
