My 2nd time taking the Nclex PN

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello there,

I am a recent graduate and I am taking the NCLEX my second time in 3 weeks. My school had let us use ATI to help us get a "feel" for the nclex but when I took the NCLEX the first time it seemed like the website didn't help out much. I was bummed that I didn't pass it because I felt like I had this in the bag plus a couple of my friends had passed the first time. So now I have been studying every day for a couple of hours with Exam Cram 4th edition, Saunders 5th edition and using the PN mastery also for questions. I am still very nervous to take the test again because I would like to pass the 2nd time. I am wondering if these books and app are good to use or if there are any other recommendations?

Thank you :)

Hi jhope16,

When it comes to NCLEX exams, its more important how you think than what you know. You can have a library of material but if you dont know the thinking process to grasp the material to answer the questions then you will miss the benefits. I hope this brings encouragement.

Also, read the rationales. Especially in PN Mastery. They helped me answer later questions when practicing.

Archer review is great! Worth every penny!  I just passed my LVN with the help of archer review.
