NCLEX PN dec 1..not confident

Published

Yep!! finally taking the bad boy dec 1. ive been studying mostly saunders, exam cram, kaplan strategies, nclex pn 3000. im not confident in my content knowledge. Also, i score really low on select all the apply practice questions. Ughh! does anyone have any last minute topics or tips i need to stuff in thats already taken this test??? im soooo nervous and scared i cant sleep at night. i did do kaplans qbank and scored from 54-74 percent on the tests. i scored a 74 on the readiness test, 70's on exam cram, but poor on saunders. Any help would be amazing!!!

aww thank u! u can and will pass also! i know how u feel about panic mode. I wish i could give u tips as to what im doing but im taking pn not rn..do u hve PDA by la charity?? its directed for RN's but has LPN based questions to as far as scope of practice for prioritization and delegation. if u dont, its a must have..

Yes I do have PDA and love it! I failed NCLEX RN once and I can tell you infection control was plentiful (I got above passing), lots of which call/patient to see first, med calc (which I just had a total brain freeze and eventual meltdown). It was quite random as far as diseases.

One thing I noticed was when I missed the med calc question (somehow I expected having answer choices with ALL med calcs :facepalm:), the computer picked up on this and kept prompting a calculation question.

Have faith, pray and relax. Know when to take a break when you feel anxiety setting in. We ARE going to have our license this year! :up:

Meds are also my weakest part. I am praying and hoping that even though i dont know the meds hopefully the question will lead us to choose the right answer. For example if a question says something like this:

A hypertensive patient is taking chonghdkhshuxizorizica (Clorpenzomani). Which side effects will the nurse watch for?

We will know that it is a hypertensive med even though we have no idea what the med is. I hope the questions are like that lol.

At this point try and study content esp. Ur weak Areas..trust me if u don't know the content u will be confused about the answers
