Waiting to take the LPN nclex

Published

Hello I am new to this site. I am really enjoying reading the post. I am currently waiting for my ATT for the PN NCLEX. Can anyone tell me how to study? I have all these NCLEX books and I am feeling so overwhelmed. I feel as if I am not getting anywhere. I want to test in Jan., but I also need to be ready. Thank you in advance.

I answered about 100 questions per day out of a Saunders NCLEX-PN review book, and passed with the minimum amount of questions.

Some people can study for NCLEX individually, while others might need a review class.

How many weeks or months did you study for the boards?

I studied daily for about 4 weeks. It is recommended that you do not wait to take NCLEX, because the information learned in school will be fresher in your mind if you take it very soon after graduation. The pass rate is greater than 80 percent for people who take it within a month of graduation. If you wait more than 60 days, your chances of passing substantially decrease.

Is Saunders a good book to study? I only have the RN one.

Another reason that I am worried about the PN nclex is that I am a RN student. I have one semester left. I want to work as a LPN in my last semester so I can start getting experience and a check.

Should do ok. However, you should probably be using a Reveiw book for PN as there are some differences. I took my PN during 4th semster of nursing because I knew I could not finish 4th semster and had no idea when I could continue. Worked out great. Good luck on boards. You may also wanna take a look at The Random Facts Thread for some memory joggers.

take it as soon as possible! Study Kaplan, Saunders and the like for at least 2 hours a day for the last 6 weeks of your coursework. YES you can do it. it helps.

You might want to use Suzanne's plan. It is explained in stickies at the top of this forum. Many have been successful with her plan. Wishing you good luck.

I think your information is all in there all ready. You have it. don't worry. I try to take 2 online tests a day. I'm not making perfect but I am averaging 80% and if I pass I pass. My learning is going to come in the field right?

If you have had decent teachers I believe the info is all there in your head...just waiting for that Nclex

email if anyone needs some study stuff.
