Nclex-pn advice

CYoungLPN, LPN · Jan 23, 2013

Taking the nclex on in week. Tell me your experiences anyone who has taken it. We're the questions similar to ATI or Kaplan? Please, looking for any advice. Does the ATI virtual review help? Thank you in advance[/quote']
Kaplan! The Kaplan Qbank omg in my opinion exactly like it EXCEPT Kaplan was harder than NCLEX but def. Kaplan to me I did a little of ATI it was ok but Kaplan Qbank got me really ready for NCLEX

I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday for the first time. I did the live Hurst Review which I thought was okay, I mainly got testing strategies out of it. I did use and love the Hurst Qbank - it was directed at RN's so I learned a lot. I did about 500 questions in it. We also did a lot of ATI in school, but I didn't really use it much to study. I only took practice tests on areas I felt I was weaker. Lastly, I bought the Saunders 5th Edition review book, but honestly barely touched it. I schemed over it and answered some practice questions that's about it. I thought the exam was really broad and a lot of questions I didn't study on, but thankfully could recall from class. I didn't spend my life studying it away. I probably did a couple hours a week on top of my 3 day live 8 hour a day hurst review. Per the PVT I got a good pop up and should know tomorrow if I officially passed. My best suggestion would to do as many practice test questions as you can until you feel comfortable, learn your important lab values, and relax. I was so stressed out, I had to stop and take lots of deep breaths throughout the test. You can do it!
