Lpn nclex vs rn nclex

[Alexandra2]

Hi Everyone! I know I am probably the only one that can answer this question, but why do I feel like I am having a harder time preparing and feeling prepared for the RN NCLEX then I did for the LPN NCLEX? I passed the LPN NCLEX the first time and felt for sure I failed. I failed the RN NCLEX once and will be taking soon. I'm probably getting the jitters, however, I'm having a hard time overcoming this feeling of never being able to pass this exam because it's something that I want so much. I know I need to have more confidence in myself. I guess I answered my question.

Thanks for your feedback and support!

i had taken both as well. honestly, my nclex-pn was harder because i did not know what was going on and really did not know the structure of the exam. with my nclex-rn, i was confident and relax. just try to be more confident and believe in yourself. good luck.

I took the NCLEX-PN years ago and passed with 85Q. I remember coming out from the testing center feeling that I've failed because the questions were seemed very different from what I studied. I couldn't even recall any of the questions except one conversion. I just took the NCLEX-RN last week and passed with 75Q. So far I can recall some of the questions that I had. You can do it too, just study harder and keep practicing more questions and rationales. God bless...

You're right, you answered your own question. You probably could use some time working on your relaxation techniques as well as learning content and practicing questions. Good luck.

I'm a LPN and I'm HIGHLY interested in this thread because a RN told me that the LPN Nclex was harder for them than the RN Nclex. If that's so, why do so many people fail the RN Nclex? I will be taking this exam and I'm curious to hear from other RNs who were LPNs on this subject.
