:clown: I took the exam Thurs morining at 8am found out today(Fri) at 11am online
that I PASSED!!! I'm a LPN!
The computer shut off at 85 questions. I was suprised to get some much pharm questions.
I got about 5 question on one specific (easy) drug. I knew the drug but the answer options were
not familar to me. So I'm guessing I was answering it wrong so the computer gave me 5 chances
throughout the exam to prove myself, Im guessing that's why I had so much Pharm questions
too. I'll never forget that drug now. I walked out the testing site thinking
only by the grace of God will I pass. I didn't think the exam was "hard" compared to the nclex-pn
review books.
For those who studying for the boards...
1 know your lab values
2 infection control,
3 patient teaching/ what you'd teach other nurses about pt. conditon/disease
4 delagation and
5 don't over do the drug review. I would recommend fousing on the drug names and catagories that you saw throughout school.
6 review strageties on answering nclex questions, when in doubt it will come in handy.
7 Read the questions carefully,
8 don't read into the question,
9 and try not to doubt your first answer, its usually the right one.
Lastly, my test format not not be similar to yours, but the 9 things I listed
above you will diffiently run into. I had... 2 OB, 4 Peds, about 20 pharm, about 20 Med-surg
7 Select all that apply, 8 infection control, 4 mental health
about 9 nursing process, and 2 calculations...from what I can remember.
I won't say Good Luck, but I will say may the Favor of God be with you:saint: Think positive:wink2:
