I graduated from lpn program about 2 years ago! I took the exam once and failed I haven't had the courage to retake it. I'm now battling with my study materials. I've been looking at the Saunders book and learningext. Any advice on where to start? I feel like there is so much info. :-( its discouraging and I love NURSING![/quote']
Take a practice test to see where your weak spots are then you can begin your review. Try this: http://nursing.slcc.edu/nclexrn3500/mainMenu.do

those are good sources i used that too. you should practice practice. you can use the saunders and do the test behind the chapter first if you get under 75 then review the system. do the same with the learningtext. the more questions the better you get but read the rationales even if you got them right.

I also failed my first LPN nclex, I tried Kaplan and it worked for me. I am taking NLCLEX RN this wednesday and I used Saunders, NCSBN. practice questions and read rationales. dont forget your content.

I guess Kaplan it is :-)

I know this goes against what most people suggest: it's my opinion that you should review the rationales on the questions you get wrong. I personally feel time is better spent that way. Why keep reviewing what you already know? It takes valuable time to go through all of the questions and rationales.
