Passed NCLEX PN

Published

Well, I took the NCLEX PN this past Friday and yesterday I got my quick results..I passed :) I'm an LPN!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone at allnurses.com. I did not post often, but throughout my year of school and months of studying, this was the biggest help of all. Reading all the success stories and tips made school and the NCLEX so much easier.

Some tips for those taking the test..do what makes you comfortable. My school's recommendation was graduate, wait two weeks, study non stop for two weeks, and test asap. I took two months to myself, studied a little bit in that time, then spent one month of good studying. It really helped going at my own speed, made a lot of the stress melt away. I used Saunders Comprehensive Review and Saunders Q&A....did about 1000 questions in all, and did quite a few chapters out of the Comprehensive that I felt weak on. What I found when I did take the NCLEX though was the best way to prepare was to know the question format and a basic understanding of everything. I had 85 questions in an hour and a half with a good part of them being SATA...I walked out of there calm and confident surprisingly.

So believe in yourself and go at your own pace if you're reviewing for the NCLEX, good luck to all!

Thanks again to allnurses.com.....I'll surely be posting again once I recieve my license and start work.

You are all amazing individuals:redbeathe

I used Saunders Comprehensive Review Edition 4 and Saunders Q&A Edition 4.

also, in front of the Exam Cram book for the NCLEX PN there is a cram sheet that was given to me in my last month of nursing school...read it the last few mornings before testing, it really helped me refresh my mind on all the basics.

Best of luck to all

Congratulations!!! I took my NCLEX-PN today and just knew I had failed. I had 205 questions, and I can honestly say it was the grace of God that allowed me to get the "good pop up." The material was unreal, and personally, I think the exam is based more on your performance and thoughts vs. facts and memorization. I am so very proud. Now I'm just waiting for it on the BON. Now....RN or not to RN, that is the question lol. I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!

J.pkidd, I remember there being lots of priority questions, droplet and standard precautions, meds I've never seen, and I also had calculations. Not to mention several SATA questions....at least 30. Best of luck to you.
