I'm currently doing my RN prereqs at the same technical college I attended for an LPN diploma. I completed a set of "allied health" prereqs for LPN and wish I'd been advised to take all the college level courses instead so I wouldn't have to repeat two A&P classes. I've found them to be markedly different from my allied health version - lots more detail covered thoroughly and a lot more scientific. Knowing the info in more thoroughly and in greater detail has made me a better LPN. Being a 40something with financial restrictions I originally planned on bridging to an ADN, but since having this experience I decided the better decision for me is to go for a BSN. Happy Studying

I only used Saunders, though I checked a few other versions out from the library. From the start of the last quarter of school until we finished, we were required to do 4000 test questions (didn't matter where they came from). I found that doing 100 Saunders questions a day from the CD was a good practice. I honestly think it's just an exercise in learning the testing language. When I took my exam I felt like the practice test questions weren't useful, and that I really just needed to soundly know all fundamentals. I passed with 85 questions. Know your disease processes Know your baseline lab values Don't skip prepping with delegation questions - there are a good number of them Prioritization is key as well - always remember the A(irway)B(reathing)C(irculation)'s and who would die first! Get plenty of rest and take your time with the test. Hope you do well!
