NCLEX-PN HELP

Do not be discouraged, it all depends on how bad u want it. take a refresher course at a college near you, or buy a nclex-pn prep book. i recommend the saunders review 4th edition, it has content review plus the quetions. make a 45 days study plan provided by the saunders after a 100 assessment exam on te CD. you'll fly thru it.

Since you took it 3 times you should have that test imbedded in your head. Try to remember all that you took and write down how you prepared for the test and try something different. You should take a refresher course and get the newest N-clex pn with cd to help you study and make sure you go through it and learn in inside and out, There has been a lot of new things thats been taught since youve taken classes. Maybe you can see if you can talk to a tutor or I know that have a N-Clex review class in colleges so you should definitley take that and maybe meet other students that you can study with and this time you will pass.

Hi Brandi,

i know how you feel, I have issues with test taking and i pick the wrong answers all the times, even though i know the material. check this web site out it will help you refresh your memory okey, and remember the longer you wait, the smaller your chances get of passing. i graduated in may and Iam preparing for my nclex in august and i cant tell you how many thing i already forgot. one of my classmates took the nclex after one week of graduation and he passed and believe me he didnt prepare for it, everyhting was still fresh in his head. the web site is this. read the complete review okey:

you know also too what you can do is just take your NA test and work somewhere for a while. The you can become familiar and comfortable with the nursing thing again. Hands on is always the way too go. Its not what you want and thats not what you went to school to become but something in your life is not helping you pass this test. Maybe you can go out and get a field for it and the hands on experience may be the motivation you need. Plus when you do take you n-clex you will have already found a place to work with experience but this time go back as an LPN. =)It may be a good start concidering you took the test 3 times already. Maybe this is the break you need to refresh you mind. Take the NA test, work in a nursing home or hospital, and then prepare yourself for the N-Clex while you work as a NA.

kwitra thanks so much for the website!! i am worried b/c i have waited so long b/c i had gotten discouraged. yet i am still not going to give up. i know i can do this. it's just going to be a little bit more of a challenge for me. b/c i do feel overwhelmed sometimes when i am studying and i'm like oh my gosh i can't remember that for the life of me then when i review it... it all comes back. anyways good luck to you!! i am sure you'll do great!!! let me know how it goes!! thanks again for the website and the support!! i think this website is so great b/c of all of the encouragement and support that everyone gives. same goes for you if you need any help or support from me... please do not hesitate to ask!! thanks again!

arianna_marie you are right. i was thinking about doing that after i take the test this next time if i do not pass. b/c i agree hands on will help me get the feel of things. i mean i am very motivated to doing this. sometimes i think i just stress myself out thinking about it and wanting it so bad that it's hard for me to absorb information. when i do these practice questions and i get one wrong that is so easy i am so hard on myself and think... " well how am i suppose to pass this test if i can't even get these right?" anyways... i am not just going to give up and i will do what i have to do to be where i want to be someday. :) i know i can do this. your right maybe i should look into na for a while. it can't hurt me it can only help. thanks so much for the advice!! i'll keep ya'll posted!

hi brandi,

i recently passed my lvn last friday. i'm having ahard time to pass my rn so, i decided to take lvn first and then rn. now i'm done with my lvn i am looking forward for my next exam w/c is nclex-rn. one day i went to barnes and nobles to purchase a review book. i've been through a lot of books and tired of going back and forth reading chapter by chapter until one guy approached me while i am looking for a better book and he told me why don't you try exam cram nclex-pn he said it took him 3 weeks to practice all the question on the cd and passed. i decided to buy and take my chance. believe me the cd was good it is almost the same as nclex what i mean is not the exact contect but the format. it helpds you to be familiar with real nclex and would you believe it was endorsed by pearson. just try and check the book if you don't like you can always return. now i am using the nclex-rn exam cram. this book helps you to master every chapter before they allow you to go to the next level. you can't go to the next level unitl you already master the subject which is good. i hope this little thing that i've shared will bring you to a success that you are longing for for 3 years. i wish you good luck

How do i get a copy of this manual...can someone please HELP. I am taking my NCLEX for the third time and i want a download from this review guide..please HELP

Brandi,

I really do think you should take the NA test, it's be a "practice test" for your N-Clex PN. You take your study skills from this and apply it to your NClex PN Exam. I know my friends who are RN's and LPNs even Medical Assistants said that they took on Nursing Assistant for a part time job while going to school and they actually did better in all their classes because they worked as a "nurse" and adapted all the skills and knowledge needed to be a nurse and by the time they were done with school and was time to take their exam, since they worked as a "nurse" in a nursing home and hospital they knew all the answers to the questions like the back of their hand because they dealt with the situations in real life while working in the clinics and did the nursing jobs. Since it was second nature to them now they went and took the exam without second guessing themselves. Even when there were questions they didnt know, they applied it to other similar events they dealt with and used that as a guidance to there answers.

While working as an NA you can also make friends in he nursing field and use them as support to becoming a LPN.

Nursing School is hard and you graduated already meaning that you can do it! So you went through it all and you know it all. If you didnt you wouldnt of made it through the first semester of classes. So you can do this. I know that I have to get my A game on when my nursing classes start in August. My children are my priorities but my schooling is my next priority. Just doing my pre-reqs was hard because I just skimmed through all my readings and just took my exams like whatever. I know that school is very important too me and I know that I want this really bad but I also know that I have t sacrafice my social life, my being a great mother to when mommy has time mother, and lock myself down on a strict schedule so i can succeed. This a short term sacrafice for a long term success in a great life for my family. So you get a call to go to a party or to a bbq and you have an exam coming up or reading to do... the last thing you want is to get behind.... ever. So, become a NA, get your study materials ready and make notecards so you can bring them EVERYWHERE.... literally. Study, study, study... in the bathroom, while eating, sitting and waiting in the car... you get what I mean. "Become the little girl who can site her favorite bedtime story without knowing how to read." and with this you will succeed.No questions asked. Though this time take your time and study, but keep it consistant so you can maintain all the imformation learned. Nursing changes all the time and thats why they say that you have to get done with the program within 4 years. You should call the nursing board to make sure how long you need to take the test. Like NA's they only have 2 years to take the exam before it expired. So you should check into that also. The cram exam seems like a good idea to because if you cant use your notecards, like while driving, you can listen to the cd instead. Make sure you give yourself at least a month of hard core studying before you take you exam next. you may hate being anti social for a little while but remind yourself why you are doing this. :nuke: To be a nurse. Since its been 3 years just reviewing the information wont be enough and carming for it wont be either. So play it smart this time and do it. you did your time in the class room and succeeded not this time its time to take your classroom experience and put it in the real world. You can do this!
