Hello everyone,
yes I passed CPNE!!!!!!!!!!! PHEWWW! I took my exam June 5-7 and it was not without difficulty; I passed all labs Friday night and failed first PCS saturday morning and passed the rest of the PCS's to where I finally got that white letter!!!!!!!!! YIPPPPEEE! Such a weight has been lifted and I want to thank everyone for all of their support on this board, I've kept in contact with a couple of fantastic people on here and their insight has been priceless. Now on to NCLEX, I want to ask previous Excelsior grads what they used to pass their boards, what was the most helpful resource!? Thank you so much!!!!!

I'm in Florida and passed the NCLEX last month. 75 questions. I didn't study for the NCLEX; it wasn't that hard in my opinion.

I used Saunders. I turned to the back of each chapter and did the questions - if I got most right, I went to the next chapter. Too many wrong and I reviewed the chapter. I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions in less than 40 minutes. It was pretty easy after all the EC exams, in my opinion. Congrats and good luck!!
Wow, thanks so much! Which Saunders book did you buy?
This one: Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination, 6e (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn): 9781455727551: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com
I used whichever edition was around in 2008.
This book is also recommended: Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination, 3e: 9780323113434: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com
