I will soon be graduating from the LPN program and will be taking boards sometime in august I assume. Every time I think about the boards I start shaking in my shoes. How can I prepare for a test that determines my career? I've got a NCLEX book by saunders and I really like it. Are there any practice test you can take online or take classes to help pass? Please help....i'm really nervous

I found Mosby's NCLEX CAT to be absolutely wonderful. Just like the boards, plus you get feedback about how you are doing, what areas you should concentrate on, the rationales for the correct (and incorrect) responses.
I used it for the RN. I'm sure they must have it for the LPN boards as well.
It was cheap too. About $43 including tax for the online, downloadable version, unlimited uses for 30 days.
You can put "Mosby NCLEX CAT" into any search engine and it should come up with the URL. (Take the quotes off first, of course.)
Good luck!

Since you already have Saunders, I would suggest using it according to SUZANNE's plan. I did, along with a few others, and I passed.
Practice questions, reviewing the rationales are the key, also I think it will help you build up your confidence level.
what is meant by the "suzanne plan"? So what else did you do to study for the boards? I'll have about 8 weeks from graduation until I have to take them so I should have plenty of time to study. All your help is appreciated...thanks!
