Failed nclex RN 2 times, I want to try PN. Please advise me

Hello all,

I know how you feel. I took the NCLEX in feb o7 and then this past week. the first time with 265 questions and the second time with 120 questions. I feel like I know my stuff, but someone mentioned is the careful reading of the questions. many times during the test I realized , after I hit the next bottom, that I mis-read the questions and put the wrong answer. In addition to studying, those of us who have not passed the test need to learn some relaxation techniques. I know I do b/c I instantly freak out once the test starts. don't give up and keep your head up.

thank you all, based on your comments and experience, i am going to try rn again. i thought i mastered the content and i practiced so many questions from kaplan and learning extension. my issue is priority questions. i was trying to get a book on exam strategies and found the "saunders strategies for success for the nclex-rn® examination" book with ok rating. i didn't buy yet. i am hoping that some of you would recommend a book. then, i am planning to do some more sample questions.

please tell me if there is any good book on strategies for the nclex-rn.

thanks again.

hi,

i took nclex twice and it seemed like the hardest thing ever!!! i had my med surg book in hand and used it while going thru review questions, any time i felt like i was guessing at an answer i would look it up right away. i found i was more motivated to learn at that moment- and it helped. i passed my second attempt and felt confident.

good luck

Don't give up. I failed my Nclex RN twice before finally passing this year 2007 and I graduated in 2004. The book that I think helped me the most as prepared for the test was Nclex Rn for Dummies and I also used Nclex RN flashcards. Make sure you read the rationales even if you answer a question correctly. Best of Luck to You.

We had a professional nclex review instructor come to our school and she was part of the board that wrote questions for both RN and PN tests. She told us that the PN test was harder than the RN. The differences were delegating and IV q's. Don't know how true it is, but thats what we were told. So if that is the case, keep trying for the RN.

Hello, I just want to ask you guys... I took Nclex last week, and I am having a bad pop up at Pearson View Trick... I bet you already took LPN.. I just want to ask if you submit a separate credentials to BON Nclex-RN and BOUN Nclex PN or you have to just ask the BON to submit a copy to Board of Vocational nurse(Nclex-PN).... Thank you ; )
