Question for Those that Took the NCLEX-PN

Students NCLEX

Published

Okay, just a question, and I am NOT asking anyone to give me the test content, I am asking a GENERAL question.

So for those that have taken the Nclex-PN, I was reading some literature yesterday about the Nclex that said the NCLEX-PN exams focused on the geriatric 65+ population on the exam. Did you find this to be true on your exam?

The exam can and does ask you anything from newborn to the elderly. I would suggest you check out the NCSBN website

i just took my nclex-pn on 08/22/11 and it focuses on everything plus more. Everybody's exam is different but Like the person above said, do check out NCSBN website for pointers. good luck and best wishes!

Yep, I found that it really spanned the entire age-range. I didn't have a ton of SATA, had about 4 metrology. The biggest thing to focus on would probably be prioritization. I had a lot of those questions. You'll do great!

Totally NOT true. It's devil of a exam has everything and anything on it. My weak area was pharmacology. Study all areas, and although its impossible to learn/memorize all meds, it will throw a random drug in ur face and ask for a side effect. Yes, I did fail, and this is why Iam so bitter. lol Goodluck to you!!
