In desperate need of advice!

Published

So, I will be taking my NCLEX-PN exam this Feb 23rd. I've read Exam Cram, did a few questions, did the 18 Chapters of Lacharity, I am 1/3 through the Davis question CD, 1/3 through the Prentise Hall Compre book. Read mostly on safety,delegation, infection control but little on adult health(physiologic part). I've taken NCLEX-RN last year but failed. I did Saunders 4th edition (cover-to-cover) that time but didn't make it. So, I decided to try the NCLEX-PN instead this time. But now, I'm extremely nervous bc in NH I can only take it once. I'm stuck in a minimum wage job w/ no future, I just don't wanna screw this up this time.I feel like I'm not ready & there's seems to be so much more that I should read on but my test is in 18 days. What should I do, should I reschedule? Any advice?

I think the NCLEX-PN is similar to the RN Exam, so my strategy would just be to do as many questions as possible before your exam. Whatever questions you are getting wrong, review that content.

Good luck!

Specializes in Peds OR as RN, Peds ENT as NP.

Is the reason why you are not taking NCLEX RN because you can only take that once also? You need to practice questions. I did approximately 1100 of them through Kaplan. Keep your appointment! If closer to time you want to reschedule, then you should. Best of luck and you WILL have a future!:hug:

I got my BSN abroad. So for me to be able to take the PN boards, I was told by NH BON to register as "partial RN taking PN" and could only take the NCLEX-PN once. But I'm taking the PN bc my classmates said it was easier. Having 'a nursing license' is better that not having anything. Thank you jomajoma & RN Sam for the advice.
