NURSES WHO PASSED NCLEX?? LPN or RN. Please SPEAK OUT!!! 1) Did you pass the LPN or RN NCLEX? 2) What year did you take & pass the NCLEX? 3) How many times did you take NCLEX before passing? 4) How did you study when you passes the NCLEX? (Online Nclex study guide, what book?, What NCLEX Reveiw Study school?)

which LPN study guides?

I took the LPN in 2004, there was a class offered at my school, it lasted 2 days. The study guides are good too. They are sold at all book stores.

I passed the NCLEX PN in 1985, and the NCLEX RN in 1997. I took each only once. I didn't bother with a study guide for either one. I just reviewed my notes and read the questions very carefully.

However, I now recommend to all my nursing students that they routinely practice NCLEX questions from review books, as well as the non-proctored ATI tests (from a testing company we have a contract with). The more practice you get in answering NCLEX style questions, the better you are likely to do when you sit for Boards.

I did use a review book before I took the CEN exam, and that really helped me identify my weaknesses. I probably would have failed that exam had I not used the review.

I took the NCLEX RN twice, the first time I just studied with notes and the second time I took the Kaplan course and used the NCLEX RN cd-rom to study. I took my time the second time and made sure I understood the test questions. I also had the Saunder's book.

I took the NCLEX RN in 1996. I answered 115 questions before the computer turned off. Whew...I was nervous after question 80... I took a Kaplan review before I took the NCLEX. I know it helped. There is so much information to remember from nsg. school, that a review is almost necessary.

I took the RN NCLEX in June 2005. I had 76 questions. When the computer didn't cut off after that 75th question I just took a deep breath and wondered how many more would I have to answer. Fortunately I only had to answer one more. I didn't know whether that was good or bad. I really didn't feel good about it. I just cried when I called and they gave me my license number. I just used NCLEX books and did question after question. Probably around 4000 questions in all. I did not take an NCLEX review course.

Geesh, I'm so old....the NCLEX was only in the thinking stage when I became an RN. ara, I'm not sure a registry would employ you without a year's experience somewhere else. I'd try a hospital, get most experience there

I took the NCLEX RN in Jan. 2008, and passed on the first try. All I did was the Saunders Q&A 3000 questions, and it was great. I think the best way to prepare for the test is to keep doing questions everyday (at least 200/day for about 2 weeks) because it gives you good practice in knowing how to answer questions, as well as review of content. I also read Kaplans Strategies for the NCLEX-RN, and used those strategies to answer the Saunders questions. I wouldn't worry about what number of questions the computer cuts you off at - it's not really an indication of anything. I was cut off at 100 and passed, and I had friends that were cut off at 75 and didn't pass.
