After 3 and a half hours with 205 questions I passed the NCLEX-PN. I won't lie it was difficult. I used Kaplan to study and I can't say that it helped. I also used the Saunders book which is a good book but honestly none of that really helped me for the type of questions I got on Nclex
Hello all
I took my Nclex-PN feb 9th 2016. It was the most nerve wrecking exam ever! In this article I will be completely honest. I always told myself that once I pass the NCLEX I would start a blog/forum to help others because I know how it is.
A little back story of myself, I completed the LVN program here in Texas ( I won't mention the school) in December and as soon as I graduated I IMMEDIATELY began to study... Our school used Kaplan for the review so I reviewed Kaplan everyday for 12 hrs a day (I studied at work) anyway now let's get to the point. Was Kaplan helpful for the Nclex? I would say yes and no! Yes bc it helped you understand how to answer questions properly especially priority questions and no bc their rationale usually sucked. Anyway when I took the Nclex I won't lie, when the first question popped up I was like, "what is this" lol so I took a deep breath and answered all the questions to the best of my ability... Once the questions passed 85 I began to lose confidence but I just kept answering bc I was determined to pass! So please know and understand if you pass 85 keep answering until the computer shuts off. I went to 205 and was relieved it was over but sad I went up that high. I immediately began to cry leaving the exam location. Lol so the questions I had on the test were lots of delgation, who would you see first, priority questions, I had 22 questions that were SELECT ALL THAT APPLY, I had one math problem that was simple I just had to do conversion, and I had lots of preventive care and patient teaching questions, I memorized all my lab values but I only really got 2 questions that pertained to lab values. I had a few questions on diabetes (type 1 and Type 2) and I had a lot of questions on OB and newborn!!! Like majority of my test was OB! Which was great for me bc I want to be a labor and delivery nurse in the future anyway . I had all the questions (205) and still passed. I just want to encourage others to let them know even if you go pass 85 stay focused and determined! Don't give up and take a break if you need it. I hope this helps anyone and I will be willing to help anyone with questions... I tried to be as detailed as I could be lol hence the long post (sorry about that) good luck to everyone out and I sprinkle good luck charms to everyone!!
Hey guys, I took my Nclex PN today this morning. I got 205 questions. A lot of select alls 😔 Some of the questions I was really confident while answering and a few ( small amount ) I chose the best answer. My last question was a select all about precautions of a patient with a UTI, should that patient be assigned a private bathroom ? Anyone knows? Just curious. I'm so nervous right now I don't know what to do
@JayflowersPN, Did you try the PVT? In your SATA questions was there ever a chance that all of the choices were right? Did you get HIV/AIDS patients questions? Thanks.
Didn't get any HIV AIDS questions. I didn't try the PVT because I didn't want my card being charged if I didn't pass. For my SATA I don't think any of them had the option of being all correct. I will find out today at 8am if I pass. Usually in Florida you get results the next morning.

Hello to All
I did my Nclex LVN on 4/15/2016. until today I did not received my result and I check on license verification but nothing is post
was told that if my name and license number is not posted after a week, I likely failed the test.
I try to do the trick but because I am challenge the board. is not accepted the previous code. I don't know what to do. please a need advice. Thanks
If you are in CA you can't check for a license number you must wait for your pass letter then return it with the $150 initial license fee. Once that's professed you can search your license. You can do nothing but wait
CABRN does not require an initial license fee like BVNPT
I took NCLEX PN yesterday here in California and got good pop up today. Hoping for the best and PVT still works. PVT works for me for NCLEX RN in state of NC but due to husband work we moved here in Cali and because I'm foreign educated student BRN want's me to repeat 2 subj OB & MS but no school willing to take me yet, I might have to do the whole program again. So I decided to challenge the NCLEX PN and will go from there. Maybe PN to RN program.
Good luck everyone who recently taken their exam. God bless
Just an update for everyone waiting for result, took NCLEX-PN in California May 25th 2016 and found my results today (Sunday June 5th) but it's probably delivered yesterday.
I passed and my test stopped around 110 questions, tried PVT more than 12 hours later using valid credit card but using incorrect month on expiration and it won't let me pay to re-register for the another test.
PVT still works, and although getting the good pop up doesn't mean it's time to celebrate but it somehow calm my nerves waiting for the result.
Good luck to all of you who are still waiting.. approximately 7 working days or 11 days total for me to get my result in the state of California since CA do not participate in quick result.
Hi i just took my nclex last Monday this is the third time I've failed i really need help on what area of content to study I'm in Houston tx does anybody know of any good review classes?
Hi @nessa90044 I'm sorry to hear that! What area are you struggling with?! How do you interpret the question... What confuses you? I live in Dallas which isn't far but isn't close... I don't know of any review classes except for hurst or Kaplan... Which are really expensive. Why not look at your report from NCLEX and see where your weak areas are and begin to study from there... Wish I was closer because I wouldn't mind helping you. If you're interested let me know what the report says from NCLEX and perhaps I can give you tips to help you be successful. Cheers
