NCSBN were the best practice questions I did to prepare for NCLEX. I can say that now that I have completed it...and PASSED!!!!

I'm interested in hearing what others say about this too! I'm using the NCSBN 3 week course now as well and have my NCLEX-RN schedule for June 5th.

Thank you so much! I don't get test anxiety and I feel so fortunate for that...but I would be a liar if I didn't say I sure wish it was already over.

LadyFree28: Were there any major differences in content? That's what I'm struggling with the most. I understand there will be more on delegation and prioritization, I just don't know what else to expect when moving from PN to RN exam? Thanks for the info on resources!

I used the NCSBN online review for my PN boards and real liked it. I also had the Saunders NCLEX-PN Review book. It was also a great tool. When I had time I would google "NCLEX-PN study questions" and found a lot of great free sites with practice questions too. I passed in 87 questions. Good luck!

I like the NCSBN review and they are affordable. I also feel that since they come from the council which sets up the NCLEX, maybe the questions are a bit more similar? But I might be grasping at straws. Sigh. I think you are probably sitting in a great position with your ATI score!!

I completed my LPN last year and took the NCLEX right away. I passed with 87 questions!! I have now graduated from an ASN program and am preparing to take my NCLEX-RN. My exam is scheduled for 06/05. My school had us take the ATI predictor and I scored with a 95% chance of passing on my first attempt. I'm using an online review course from NCSBN as well as a few books I purchased off Amazon. I'm just really struggling with what the difference will be from NCLEX-PN to NCLEX-RN. Anyone else have any advice on what to expect? I'm doing practice questions constantly. What else is suggested! Thanks in advance for your help!!

Same patient has been having antihypertensive episodes with lower pressures than we obtained. I think the prescribed dosage should be decreased?

I have a question regarding holding antihypertensive medications. I am currently an LPN, and will be completing my ASN program in May, so will soon be an RN. Today, a co-worker and I had a situation where we decided to work together on our patients, just to make things easier. We work at a rural, critical access hospital. Med-surg, wide variety of patients. Anyway, the patient we were working with has a PEG tube and is NPO, s/p CVA, MI. He is scheduled to receive 6.25mg Coreg (Carvedilol) BID. We assessed BP reading of 83/46 and P-54. (The coworker I was with is an RN.) She saw the pressure and said she was going to hold the scheduled Coreg dose. I agreed with her, as we have both learned in our schooling when BP is
