LPN to RN NCLEX

Hi!

I'm a LPN with 8 years clinical experience. I just completed my ADN and Passed my NCLEX-RN.. Woot Woot! Here's my question.. do you think that LPNS are tested on a harder NCLEX level than first time generic students? The exam I had was BRUTAL and generally speaking I test well. Any LPN to RN want to share their experience I'd love to heard about it.

    I felt like my PN-NCLEX was harder than RN. But, I think it's because you don't know what to expect the first time.

    For RN-NCLEX,

    I also studied things that I felt weak on LPN. They didn't even test me on those subjects. I thought the RN one was weird as they also didn't ask me any labs, drug calc, any meds, or EKG strips. Mostly priority, assessment, and delegation questions. I thought there is no way I can pass not being asked any of those topics. Turns out I was wrong.

    Passed PN at 85 questions -1st try

    Passed RN at 75 questions -1st try

    So, I don't think they test LPNs harder to answer your question. I just think, it's new info when your an LPN.

    No. I thought both my PN and RN nclex were fairly straight forward. Once you figure out HOW to answer nclex style questions they're not terrible. Hardest part for me was when it just shut off and I had to wait 3 days to find out my results, I'm not a patient person at all. But no I don't think bridge students get a harder exam than traditional students.
