need to know the best study material for nclex pn

Hurst is really good for content review. I noticed you said you have been out of school for 2 1/2 years, so that might be good to try to refresh what you learned in school. I would also find a resource to help you practice nclex style questions.

Yes I was thinking ncsbn for nclex style quetions but doesn't hurst have them also

I would get both. Sit down and take the practice tests. Grade the practice tests. On the ones you do not get correct, see if there's some correlation in the content. Read up on your weakest links.

Test again. See if how you studied the content helped. Remember DO NOT read into a question, DO NOT change your answers unless you are very, very, VERY sure you mis-clicked.

Think about the NCLEX tests you have taken. Was there any part of it that stumped you? Read up on it, put it on notecards and review them everywhere.

Know some basic meds. Know about delegating to unlicensed personnel. Think about general things and LPN can not do, and needs to consult with an RN. Airway first. Know general vitals normal. General procedure on how to give meds. Basic meds for HTN, IDDM, pain control. And write down and know basic math for med formulas. Write those down as you sit down on the scrap paper provided so you don't forget them.

And there's always some ditty that you can remember especially tough systems to remember (Like the bones in the spine--you can think of some outrageous "Christoper Tells Lies So Carelessly" ditties...as in the first letters will prompt you--and I know a Christopher like this so it makes me giggle a little)

Best wishes and let us know how it goes!

Moved to the NCLEX forum

Hurst has some questions. When I studied for the nclex I also used Saunders to practice questions. Hurst bases their questions off of their review, so it is good for making sure you know the content. Saunders questions were more like what you would see on the nclex.

I recommend you to read Kaplan Nclex PN 2013-2014 first. B/c it helps you to understand nclex question formulas. Then Saunders Comprehension book. Gluck ^^

I used kaplan qbank the first time. Didn't work for me
