Get those study books and study the questions in it. It is helpful to know the way the questions are asked. If you are finding that there's some of the material you are having difficulty with, that is what you need to focus on as far as extra study material.

You will find as you go through your program, there will be some things you catch onto quicker than other things. Make note of it as you go, so that you study in multiple media to understand rationale.

Best wishes!

Many of us who have taken NCLEX PN have posted about it. Use the search function on the site and you will find plenty of advice/experiences for your reading pleasure.

It's called the NCLEX-PN and there are probably thousands of threads created by people who have discussed their experiences with it.

I took NCLEX-PN back in 2005, but my information is outdated and possibly shrouded by the fact that I took it so long ago. :)

I failed my a couple of days ago, so idk if I should be giving advice but...I used a Lippincott Review book to study for the ATI and that helped. I also recommend using ATI resources, The Saunders book, Exam Cram, and the learning EXT program. An old Lippincott costs about $10 on Amazon. Start using that now.

okay! i literally took mine with 205 questions...freaked out for 24 hours lol but i passed! so this is what i did. KNOW YOUR DRUGS ! flash cards flash cards flash cards. KNOW LAB VALUES!!! theres no way to just GUESS the answer you have to know your material because all the answers could be right! but one little word changes the right answer from the wrong depending on what the questions ask. they do this purposely. not to trick you there are no trick questions, but to see your level of competency, if you know what you need to know as an entry level nurse. i used kaplans nclex book for strategies, and mosbys comprehensive pn review. also the learningext program by the ncsbn is amazing but you need to allow yourself time for that because its literally a review of the whole dang program i mustve spent at least 200 on that because i wasnt aware of the time restriction (two weeks, three weeks etc) and wasnt aware of the depth of information i would be given while vigoursly trying to write every single thing down (dont do that) lol. and theres also alot of informational you tube videos out there for things you need more in depth explaining. good luck!

Hello, I took the NCLEX PN on Dec 5th and passed with 85 questions (38 of which are SATA :/ ) and an hour of testing. I wish you well, you can do this, future nurse!
