Saunder's 3rd ed, Suzanne's plan if you have the time if not practice many questions and understand the rationale to the one's you get wrong

Every test is different, but with that in mind I'll tell you what I'd do; and since I just took the NCLEX pn today in Boston I think I can help you.

I studied ALL the notes and powerpoints that I got during the school year. Take notes on your old notes & study them, and you'll learn even more than before. I also recommend getting an NCLEX-PN study book or CD that gives you sample questions and the rationalles for their answers. (I got a used one on eBay.) It was extremely helpful when you're torn between 2 answers and you need a reason to pick one or the other. BUT.. if you do ONLY sample questions, you will not learn as much as a full review of your LPN education. I wasted a lot of time with that before I got down to reviewing my own stuff. Don't limit yourself to just doing practice questions.

I WISH I had reviewed I&O procedures more; as well as droplet/airborne precautions. It's not that I'm an idiot, but it's those little social details that can get you scratching your head. It's not just facts & figures. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time and re-read some chapters in my med/surg book. That's why I say back to basics is the place to start. When it gets boring, do some practice questions.

My test shut off around 85 questions, but I'm pretty sure I passed.. I'll find out on 8/1/08.

:specs: Good luck! Go for it! You know that you can do it!
