PN verses RN NCLEX ? Help

Published

Ok, my RN program works like this. There are 4 semesters in the program. After the first 2 semesters you can sit for the LPN boards. Then the last 2 semesters are for the RN boards.

Well, I was planning to go ahead and start buying some NCLEX study books and my thoughts were to buy all RN NCLEX books, but now I am wondering if I should buy some PN NCLEX books as well. Since I plan to take the LPN boards half way through I am wondering can you use RN NCLEX books to study for the LPN boards? Or do I need to buy seperate books and study for them seperately? Confused.

Oh that would be so cool! I go to Kalamazoo Valley Community College

nope............I'm at Montcalm Community College, but we do the same type of program, I took NCLEX-PN in July, and it's not really as bad as it seems, my test shut off at 85 questions. I bought a review book for PN, but didn't really intensely study from it. I bought a RN review book and started reviewing it at the beginning of last semester. I think that the questions are similar, but the RN portion has more delegation and advanced practice questions.................my opinion is if you know the material, you're able to pass. Only one girl out of my LPN class failed nclex on the first attempt, but passed on the second. If you have any other questions, or need any info, feel free to pm me or we can correspond email! Good luck!
