I just did a review of systems, etc. We do have an NCLEX Forum at: https://allnurses.com/forums/f197/ , so drop by there, too.

hi, I'm from the Philippines, I took the NCLEX-PN for the first time last December and passed it. I just read the Saunders comprehensive review book and did the mock tests of the ATI review materials for an hour a day. Goodluck

i used many many books....but the one that i thought was most like boards was

strategies for passing the nclex-pn 2006-2007 by kaplan.

i also ordered the $79.00 question and answer bank on kaplan.com

they really prepared me for boards. i recommended this book to my friends and to my prior lpn teachers to give to the new incoming class.

i passed boards with 85 questions....know your meds. i had alot of questions that just named meds, and asked what it was used for or what the adverse effects were. good luck

how far in advance did you start studying for the nclex

islandti_patty · May 10, 2006

i started studying for boards about six months into my program. my teachers made us start then, and turn in the results each marking period. but once i was out of school, i probably practiced about 150 questions a day. i took boards in march, so it added up to about three and a half months of 150 questions a day.
