Confused Student!!

I've been reading my thick, green NCLEX-PN book and doing NCLEX questions on its accompanying disk. We were told we will be given a review also but our instructors have told us from day one that that book and its disk are their #1 recommended study tools. Hope this helps.

I took the PN last June. What I can remember is that many of my questions were delegation, prioritization and infection control. There were a few medication calculations and a few meds.

Hope that helps and good luck studying!!

Thanks so much! My head is spinning lol...I love the nursing field, I just need to get my act together and study! Thanks again, good luck to you on becoming an RN. :)

There is NO way to determine what kind of questions you will get on boards. You may get a lot of OB questions while the person next to you gets prioritization, and another may get an even mix of everything. The computer assess YOUR INDIVIDUAL level of knowledge. So only question 1 is pre-determined. After that, it all depends on how you answer each question. If you get the question right, the level of difficulty goes up, if you get it wrong, it goes easier.

I would just focus on your test-taking strategy and how to guess when you have no idea what the correct answer is...attack the questions!

If you try to study for categories, you will overwhelm yourself and have a heart attack with all the studying.

Good luck.

the class that just graduated a few students told me that right before the graduated about 2 months is when they started the nclex review and by the last day of graduation they were doing 500 questions a day along with school work. my one friend just took it and said that like 75% was medications she had never heard of, but she passed so good luck! just get nclex books and take boards soon while everything is fresh in your mind
