I graduated from the LPN program back in 2008 and bridged over into the RN program, I am currently working on the last year of the RN program. Now that graduation time is getting closer I am starting to get nervous about the thought of the RN NCLEX I am just wondering if there are any LPN to RN bridge overs out there that can give me some advice. What I am mainly wondering is if any of you guys who bridged over had a hard time trying to remember the small details of what we were taught in the LPN program and if when it came time to take the RN NCLEX if you guys felt like you had forgotten some of that information.

i am in the process of bridging over now. I had to take a HESI-PN comprehensive content review exam before I could apply to bridge. I graduated in 2009 from LPN school. I actually increased my scores. I have been answering NCLEX-RN questions off and on with Saunders and Kaplan since getting out of school, while finishing up my co-reqs to bridge.
Since you have been in school and have been answering NCLEX-RN practice questions, I assume, you actually probably know way more than you think.
I think my scores increased because I was using the NCLEX-RN guide. Of course there were small things I could not remember, but those were the lower scoring questions anyway. I did very well on the application and analysis questions, those are the ones that boost the passing rate!
