There are bad things about LTC but there are good things too. Especially the residents. They have become like another family to me. I really do enjoy my job as an LPN most days but I'm always so busy (with my 32 residents) that I don't have time to do anything except my job. It gets pretty stressful some days. And while I enjoy my job, I do not plan on being here forever. LTC is a stepping stone for me just so I can get some experience so hopefully a hospital will hire me after I get my RN license. Oh and the pay at the facility I work at is pretty decent too....

I got the good pop up and passed too. Congratulations Nurse!!!!

PVT worked for me. I got the good pop up right after I took nckex and I passed! :)

I just took my PN test (and passed) and the lacharity book was so helpful! A lot of the questions on my test were on this material. Priority, delegation, and assignment are areas that both lpns and rns need to know. Definitely use it no matter which test you are taking...

In my opinion you only need to know indications and classifications... pharmacology is definitely one of my weak areas and I knew pretty much all of the med questions...

I took the PN test on Saturday and this morning I found out I passed! I am so thankful to everybody on this site that offer their advice and experience. I know it helps me a lot. I hope I can do this well on my RN NCLEX after I graduate in December too. Good luck to everybody about to take the test!

Thank you... I passed! :)

Congratulations!!!

I just got done with my test. It stopped after 85 questions. There were so many sata and med questions... I really walked out with no idea whether I passed or not but now I am getting the good pop up so I have to believe I did. I just want to encourage anyone about to go take it. I felt like I was failing the whole time. There were questions that seemed like a foreign language to me and others that were so easy I was convinced I was failing. Just take it one question at a time and think about exactly what that question is asking and you will do great! Also, once a question is done, really do just forget about it and go on. You dont need to know everything or get every question right. Just think priority. Also, if you dont know the answer, eliminate some of the other answers if u can. That helped me. And remember, the majority of people pass the first time they take it. I hope this helps someone that is as nervous as I was. Good luck everybody!

Good luck! Mine is in two days and I know we are both going to do great! You got this! Can't wait to see the happy post when you pass tomorrow!

Congratulations Nurse!!!

I'm so sorry you are having such a bad time. I know it must be horrible to work so hard and then feel like it was all for nothing. I have not taken the NCLEX yet, mine is in 3 weeks, so I dont know if this is any help but maybe change up what you are studying and try different things. I am studying Kaplan, Hurst, and Lacharity. Mostly just tons of practice questions. At least 100 a day. That helps me a lot. I hope you can get motivated and try again! If you made it through nursing school, you can definitely do this! Good luck!

Good luck!!!
