Hi... I just finished my LPN Exit 2 weeks ago & I'm waiting to receive my ATT so I can take my board. I'm excited... yet nervous... ready... but then again... am I ready? Who knows (LOL)
I was wondering if there are alot of medication questions on the NCLEX like I've been hearing??

Welcome to allnurses.com. I moved your post to the NCLEX Forum for more responses.

To be honest, each person has a different test, now that the NCLEX has gone computerized.

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

Some people get lots. Some get a few. Some get one, or none. Computer is supposed to test you on all areas, but sometimes that works out to be alot (maybe a weak area for some) or a little depending on how you're answering.

Some questions are multiply layered, meaning that there's a med component in an ortho question or a psych question.

No way to predict, best to study!

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

i had between 10 and twelve. the computer understood this was a weak point of mine and focused in on it. However i found out i passes my lpn boards today. We all know u will do great.

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

I am pretty sure I was asked about 7 different questions that involved all different meds & types of meds. Luckily I had just encountered & administered all but one of them the week before I took my exam. Doesn't always work that way.

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

I got what seemed like a lot (to me anyways). I don't remember exactley how many pharm questions I got, but almost all of them where about drugs that I had never heard about!! I must have done okay though cause I passed the first time around!!

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

I didn't get any pharm at all.

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

Welcome! I'm drunk, but it's not my usual state of affairs, lol....I promised I"d sign off and go see a great movie, and I AM....Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet, 1968, truly a classic....with a bottle of fine wine. Let's just say the fine wine finished WAY before the movie, lol...

Anyway, glad you're here. This group of wonderful people has helped me prepare for boards, calm down and understand nclex before I took it....and has been routinely peeling me off the ceiing and walls while awiaitng results.

I dont' normaly type this badly. I gave up correcting typos given my current mental status, lol.....

Anyway...welcome!

Re: Med ? on NCLEX

I just took the nclex-pn last Friday and just got my license in the mail yesterday. Pharm is a weak point for me but thankfully I only got 2 or 3 pharm questions and passed with 85 questions. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
