NCLEX-PN Preparation Course

How the PN exam differs from the RN exam — scope of practice, the NCSBN PN test plan, Client Needs weightings, and how Computerised Adaptive Testing decides when your exam ends.

The heaviest category on the PN exam. Working under RN and physician direction, contributing to the care plan, advance directives, client rights, confidentiality, informed consent, ethical practice, resource management and reporting.

Standard and transmission-based precautions, asepsis, accident and injury prevention, safe use of equipment, handling hazardous materials, restraints and safe patient handling.

The ageing process, data collection techniques, developmental stages, health screening and promotion programmes, high-risk behaviours and antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and newborn care.

Therapeutic communication and environment, coping mechanisms, abuse and neglect, behavioural interventions, chemical dependency, grief and loss, mental health concepts and end-of-life care.

Assistive devices, elimination, mobility and immobility, non-pharmacological comfort interventions, nutrition and oral hydration, personal hygiene and rest and sleep.

Dosage calculation, expected actions and adverse effects, medication administration and documentation, pharmacological pain management, and monitoring clients receiving parenteral and intravenous therapies.

Changes and abnormalities in vital signs, diagnostic tests and laboratory values, potential for complications from procedures and health alterations, therapeutic procedures and system-specific data collection.

Alterations in body systems, basic pathophysiology, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, medical emergencies, unexpected response to therapies and care of clients with chronic conditions.

Apply the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model to PN-level scenarios, and practise the Next Generation item formats — unfolding case studies, bow-tie and trend items — until they feel routine.

Reading the stem accurately, eliminating distractors, answering within the LPN scope of practice, handling 'select all that apply' items, and pacing yourself across a five-hour adaptive exam.

Unlimited full-length, exam-condition adaptive mock tests with category-by-category performance reports, reviewed one-to-one with your instructor before you book the real exam.
