Too early to study for NCLEX-PN?

If you attend a reputable PN program and have been learning as you go, there is no need to 'study' for NCLEX-PN. Now should be the time to focus on school.

A quick review that starts a month prior to graduation will suffice. Answer 100+ questions per day and read the rationales for each answer. However, I wouldn't worry about this until four to six weeks before graduation.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm going into my second semester now and a graduate student suggested I buy a study book. Now I wouldn't spend hours a day studying but I think in your down time it would be helpful.

I downloaded NCLEX practice apps on my phone & did them the whole time I was in my bridge to RN program.

Just practicing those type of questions will help a lot. You don't have to do a bunch while you're still in school- wait til you're out to hit it hard.

I didn't have an iphone waaay back when I was in LPN school, but it would've helped!

Personally I don't think it's ever to early to study for boards

How was the bridge program? Was it really challenging going from lpn to RN
