Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

Congrats!!!! Do you have any tips, tricks or what book to study? Greatly appreciated!

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

Use the nclex books and computer discs. They will help tremendously. Stay the night wherever you go to test unless it's a super short drive. Go without your family. Stay in a motel/hotel. Relax the night before. Don't study. Make sure you know your labs like ABGs and panels. All the basic functions such as renal, respiratory, cardiac and delegating to a CNA are things I would study. The NCLEX books really are great for reviewing. Good luck!

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

I took mine for the first time on Friday. It shut off at 85 questions and took me about 65 minutes. I feel confident for the most part, but thinking back I know that I made a couple of stupid mistakes and there were several that were iffy. I can find out tomorrow if I want to pay the early result fee, and I probably will because I hate waiting!

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

I used the Made Easy program that came with the book and I also used Lippincott's book.....I mainly just practiced by doing tests. I started work this week as a new LVN. It took me from April 27 to exactly May 27th to get my NCLEX results! Once I got my license I drove down to pay for my temp. license and it took about one week for the permanent license to come in the mail. Good luck

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

Congratulations to all who have passed the NCLEX-PN exam...I took mine on yesterday but, I did not pass. There's a telephone number we can call in VA. I didn't cry and I didn't get upset...(which suprised me). I am using Saunders but, I guess I am missing something..So, I will go back and start over..I don't have the money to order all of the other books... I will not give up!!!! I will not quit!!!! Congratulations to all NEW LPNS!!!!!!!!

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

I know that you can do it. If you can make it through the h3ll that is nursing school, you can definitely make it through NCLEX. If you don't have extra money to buy more books, perhaps you can check your local library? I know our library had several different ones, including the CD-ROMs. I used the Saunders and passed, but that doesn't mean anything. It's just the one my m-i-l happened to buy me. I am not sure if there is really *one* best book. People have different ways of studying and what works for them. Good luck to you in the future. I know you have it in you!

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today

Re: Took my NCLEX-PN for the first time today
