Hello, I have just recently passed my boards back in February. I know it really really sucks to fail your boards because I graduated from PN school back in July and took my boards for the first time and failed it in Sept of 04. I was so depressed. The worst thing about failing boards is the pressure you have on yourself to pass it the next time. Don't worry (like it's easy not to) and just tell yourself that you will pass it. What I did to pass boards my second time is that I ordered a study course called the LPN Review Course. It comes from a company called Educational Resources, Inc. They give you some discs to listen to and a Assess Test to take. The thing that helped me the most was that Assess Test because the questions are so much like the ones on boards. I just kept going over it over and over again until I knew all the answers. The only downfall about this course is that it costs lots of $$. If your interested there is a toll free #(1-800-292-2273) and just tell them that you failed your PN boards and you want the LPN Review Course. This course does go over priority and delegation questions. I got many of those types of questions on my boards to. Just remember your ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation. That should help. Just have a positive attitude about it, I know it's hard to because you feel like you are never gonna pass it, but just study the material over and over again and you should be just fine. Let me tell you if I can pass boards anyone can. Well I hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

I know how your feeling and believe me your not the only one who gets scared when it's time to take boards. When it came time for me to take it I was a wreck. I couldn't keep down any of my meals. My advice to you is to study that LPN Assessment Test that your school gives. When I took the NCLEX-PN I got many questions that were dealing with prioritizing, so remember your ABCs. Also I got many questions that where like(which statement by the client would indicate a need for further teaching or a statement which indicates they fully understand the information given to them. Goodluck on boards. Johnny-LPN

Hello, I just recently passed my NCLEX-PN and one of the tools I used to prepare my self was the LPN Assessment Test. When I passed my boards I was taking it for the second time because I had failed the first time. I had heard of this place called Educational Resources, Inc. and told them that I had failed my boards and so they sent me an Assess Test to see my strong and weak areas. Also they had sent me several audio cds to listen to in which an actual nurse is lecturing to you. Then I took the Assess Test again and scored much higher. I think the thing that helped me most was that Assessment Test because when you go over and over that test you get a good feeling what the questions on boards will be like because the questions on that test are very similar to the ones on State Boards. The only bad thing about thing about this is that it cost 350$. There is a website that has info on this program: http://www.eriworld.com Goodluck to all in LPN school because it's really tuff.
