study materials nclex pn

[lnm21]

I took my nclex pn yesterday and feel defeated. I made it to 85 questions and my computer shut off I feel like I knew nothing and now feel like I failed. I start this week working and plan on taking the test a second time and would like to know what others have used. I used ati study material, nclex pn mastery app, and studied for about 2 hours each day. Please help!

I took my LPN test last August 3rd (2016)my first time and at 85 my computer shutdown, then i felt i was exhausted after 3 hours struggling to answer SATA alternated by PDA and 1 computation and 2 sets arrange step by step procedure, I used HURST REVIEW LIVE 2 days in May 19-20 then after that I did my own, My mind is willing to study but my body is always tired from work and family responsibilities , I am a singe parent with 4 kids. I cannot afford not to work because my bills are coming and piling up every month. Then I made a plan to study when I am alert and with energy, it means unusual time of the day when everyone are sleeping, during my break time i will eat quick and go to quiet area away from break room, or in my car just to answer question in my phone NCLEX PN MASTERY. Sometimes during my day off I will devote 3 hours at least to talk to myself about the disease process of every disease from head to toe, then ...if i feel sleepy i will stop and nap then review again. I am a very audio/visual person . For me what matters most is the quality of review i absorbed. I studied core content rigidly/understand it all the why?? behind the pathophysiology then verify the s/sx, positioning etc....then i review the facts 1 week thats my target timeframe but it happened 3-4 days before my test i consolidate the normal lab values as i go back again to my core content. I only answer the Q/A from my phone. I never feel guilty and punish myself if i didnt study in one day, because that stress me out and constrict my thinking. I PASSED FOR THE FIRST TIME , 85 QUESTIONS, 3 HOURS, when i came out from testing room I WAS EXHAUSTED NOT PHYSICALLY but MENTALLY. I TOLD MYSELF "THAT WAS VERY HARD TEST I DONT THINK I WILL PASS THAT TEST but at the back of my mind I am talking to myself that test is a computer adaptive test (easy to moderate to difficult questions) it means they gave mo all the difficult questions i never imagined so i think while i was driving those test questions are the passing questions. I encountered all SATA all types of questions PDA etc...but I was calm and confident because i know the core content, mastery of core content i believe is the bible of NCLEX test. So if you know all these, u will attack questions proactively and confidently. Never give up, whatever circumstances you have, be determined to achieve your goal. Remember this : Einstein, Darwin, Pasteur all the scientist on earth they have the same time exactly given to us, so dont tell yourself you have no time , you have the exact time given to them.

I GOT THE JOB IN STATE HOSPITAL AND MANY JOB OFFERS..AND I WILL TAKE MY NCLEX RN PRETTY SOON BEFORE THE SCHOOL START FOR MY KIDS. This is because I graduated BSN in foreign country so my eligibility i was approved was LPN and RN.

Please Dont Give UP and everyday just recall any disease and recite to yourself the patho, s/sx/ postioning etc, meds.
