NCLEX in One Week

Published

I take the NCLEX PN in a little over a week. I have been studying and doing 200 questions or so a day but I still don't feel ready. I am scoring in the 80s on Exam Cram, 70s using Mosby's Comprehensive Review and in the 60s using Saunders. I heard Saunders was extremely easy and I'm scoring lowest in that review. I can not afford to retake it in the near future so any tips or advice on what to study or review to purchase would be appreciated. I am having the most issues with Cultural and Religious considerations in the Psychosocial category.

I would review Cultural and Religious considerations again. Since you're scoring well on Mosby's and Exam Cram you would be good to go. You won't ever feel ready for the exam you just have to believe in yourself. I used Hurst when I was studying for my third attempt because Saunders and UWorld wasn't working for me. Review your precautions, prioritization and delegation. You will have to know the scope of practice of an LVN along with the RN and UAP. Remember, LVNs can only data collect in the assessment phase. Know the difference between a stable and unstable patient.

Just to update. I was stressing over nothing. My computer shut off at minimum and I passed! I only had 2 or 3 religous/cultural questions.
