Help Preparation for NCLEX PN EXAM

[adriano05]

Hi! I need advice and tips for those who had pass the nclex pn. I'm reviewing but I don't know if I have the enough needed materials I'm using Saunders Q&A lpn reviewer and Kaplan strategies PN which I borrowed in the county library. Do I need to attend review class? Some are suggesting Judith Miller dvd but its too expensive. Do I need to practice lots of questionnaires? I need a good preparation and I'm feeling that I need to tackle from start to finish like Nursing process, Acid base balance, Endocrine system etc. and what is the passing score for LPN? I've been reviewing 8hrs a day and been thinking if Im doing it right answering lots of questionnaires everyday. Thanks. If anyone who has a good heart to advice me.

First. Please stop referring to yourself as "badluck" don't make a self fulfilled proficy. You are probably just a different learner than studying from the text. I also used Saunders wich I believe is the best book. But I passed my nclex on the first try only after intense study on the QBank by Kaplan. I am sure that is what made it possible for me to pass at less than 100 questions the first time. I was studying the qbank in shorter sessions but kept getting destracted by life (kids) until I made up my mind to focus and committed to 5 hrs a day for at least a week. Also do not study a thing for 48 hours prior to the test this is important. The important thing is that this program is a very close replica of the test. Since you have taken it before you also have that advantage. Read the Kaplan website on how it works but just dont think about the money and get this product, it works and you desearve it!. They will extend your course if you fail at no exxtra charge. However I believe that if you take your time with this program you will not fail. It scores you as you go and the graphics show you where you are doing poorly so you can focus on your weaknesses and it will give you a boost to see where you are doing well!

Please be kind to yourself:redpinkhe, it is as much a part of the process as any of it. Remember you have to care for yourself to care for others:) Good LUCK! http://img.an-file.info/smilies/nurse.gif
