Hi so basically I'm new here in this website. I just want to ask some advice of what books or strategies for taking the NCLEX-PN. Currently I'm doing Saunders 4th edition book, but not sure if this is enough. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Ive heard saunders was good for content and a new version- 5th ed came out june 1st. As far as questions i heard the ncsbn learning extension was excellent cause it comes as close to the nclex exam itself. Lacharity was excellent as well. I havent passed my nclex on yet unfortunately, but i plan on getting back on the wagon.. Good luck to us and happy studying! :)
im taking it july 20.. but i dont think im ready yet.
Thank you so much!

I passed with 85 question first try. I used green saunders book for content...and cram exam 3rd ed and nclex 3000 for exam questions. I did 205 questions a day for 4 days prior to my exam. I also knew my lab values, isolation, med groups and delegation.. Good luck.. When I took the exam I felt like I over studied.. I got some of the most random questions and I felt better because I knew if I would have studied for a year, I would not have all the answers...Good luck.

I recommend a combination of studying material and doing actual test questions is the best way to prepare. A great site to practice with actual questions is NCLEXPNprep.com - Your #1 source for passing the NCLEX Practical Nurse and of course they want to sell you something but there are FREE questions for you to do. If you decide you want to buy some tests, I found a discount coupon for 15%. PROMO CODE is: SAVE-RLWU. Good luck! Let us know how you do.
thank you!!! and congratulations!!! im reading saunders too.. i have tons of books to review and hopefully it will help.
