LPN about to take NCLEX-RN

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi, I hope this is the correct forum to post this in. I just have a quick question for those people that were LPNs that went on to pursue their RN. I've been an LPN for 3 years and decided to go back and get my BSN. I just graduated this May and am schedule to take my boards this Tuesday, Yikes! At first, I didn't study very much thinking that if I passed one, I will pass the other. Don't get me wrong, I'm studying my butt off now, ha! But the closer it gets to Tuesday the more scared I get. I've heard so many stories of LPNs failing their RN boards due to them using their own personal experiences and I'm so scared that I will do the same. I have a 98% predictability to pass based on my comp ATI and just been using my Kaplan book I bought at the bookstore and a comp Saunders book. IDK, I think I'm just rambling because I'm so nervous. Anyone else been in the same boat as me? Thanks :)

I think I am going to puke!!!:uhoh3:

Shop, I feel the same way and my test isn't until wednesday.

Haha seriously. I think I have done well over 5000 questions since I started studying may 13! If I don't know it now, I never will! I think tomorrow morning I am going to glance at lab values and infection control. My scores on sample quizzes have been averaging at least 70. Pray for me!!!!!!!

Good luck to those taking NCLEX tomorrow, and all of us taking the NCLEX! I know we're all nervous right now. I pray that we're all gonna make it. Keep the faith!!!

RN 2B, I am taking mine on Wednesday too. Ha, I called up another student.......well actually texter her telling her I was freaking out. She asked me if I wanted to go "burn some ****" aka our powerpoints from school. I said you are on!!!!! We grabbed a bottle of wine, went to the beach and lit a fire. Ha, our papers lasted longer than the wood did. We were there for a few hours. Me and 2 other students (I live on the Oregon coast). Let me tell you, I may be a little tipsy now from the wine but I am glad I took a break from the studying to have a little fun. It was well worth it and such a stress reliever!!!! Good luck everyone. Remember to take a break for some fun while you are studying for the NCLEX. It is a good way to stay sain.

RN 2B, one other question. Where are you taking your boards?

thank you everyone for the words of encouragement. just got home from taking the test. it was pretty tough. it shut off at 75. i did the trick and got the good pop up almost immediately after. so im crossing my fingers that it works! good luck to everyone else:)

Lots of infection control, respiratory (pneumonia, etc). And a good bit of community/home health nursing. Good luck!!

It was NCLEX RN this time around. Test shut off at 76. Im not feeling confident. I didnt know any of it, Ive been giving meds for 8 years and these meds I have never heard of, couldnt tell you what they even were if I was allowed to. I guessed!

Oh, I did read that if you know you got the last question right, you passed. whatcha think of that theory? LOL.

keep us posted who took the nclex GOd bless and good luck

I had like 81 questions and tons of sata! No math tho but two of the exhibit questions....ahhhh sata are a good sign right?!
