I asked my friend the same questions when I failed the first time. She advised me that since I will still have to prepare for either the PN or RN, might as well take the RN. True enough, when I focused hard on studying and with the help of prayers, I was able to pass the NCLEX-RN the 2nd time. I used Suzanne's Plan and passed with 75Qs. Its very simple and easy to follow and very effective:up:

That is up to the BON but you will have to start the application process with them. Better to concentrate on RN. Look at Suzanne's plan, it is free and has excellent results

i took mines 3 times and i finally passed with 75 q's. i was miserable wen i found out i failed,i thought it would never get pass that test.and then i really focused and studied whenever i can. my advise is that u should make up your mind on which materials u should used and just focused on that one.... i used saunders book,lippincott question trainer and kaplan question trainer.just practice answering the questions at least 100-200 a day.and read all the rationale.if theres something that is not clear to u thats when u open your book..and then after u do the questions try to answer it again until get it 100 percent right..just to make sure u rememeber and understand everything...i did like 10,000 questions and mind u it was so hard for me coz i just had my baby...i was carrying and feeding her while in front of the PC answering q's.and think ABC's.also try to watch the commercials on diferent drugs....and PRAY HARD!it works.. believe me.. dont give up... u can do it just focus my friend.if u want i can send u some study hints that i used.its free dont worry...just send me a private message on wats your email.goodluck!

I find it odd that you could pass the LPN Nclex 1st try and not the RN. What was different about the two??

Anyways, back to your original question I belive the best way to pass is to get in as many practice questions as possible. I did thousands in a 3 week span. Read every rational, my instructors told us as soon as your consistently hitting the 80% or better mark on a 100 question test your ready to sit for boards.

I did not spend any money on Kaplans/hurst/ati review courses simply because I did not have the extra 300 some bucks.

In my own opinion I think the anxiety of Nclex is worse than the actual test.

That is why I believe in doing as many practice questions as you humanly can get in. You must look at passing Nclex as your full time job. You need to sched your life around your preparations.

Best of luck to you. You passed Nclex once (LPN) you can pass it again!
