1. "teaching" nurses (...venting)

   Purlple posted a topic in Med-Surg

   I had to give a report to the nurse who LOVES to tell other nurses LOUD enough for everyone around what they need to learn or what had they missed. She herself missed an order to feed a patient for the WHOLE day, missed the culture results, and didn'...

3. Question (disaster/emerg.)

   Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

   I think the collapsed lung will cause deviation or shifting of the heart on one side because it will be an empty place there. Also, the other lung will shift as well. It may cause all sort of cardiac, circulatory (think about deviated aorta) and pulm...

4. Question (disaster/emerg.)

   Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

   That's true about NCLEX questions. A lot of them ambiguous and we have to try to read into what would they really mean to ask. Also, just a thought...I checked Glasgow 13 and it can be as "inappropriate words" that gives you that score. If I had only...

6. Delegation question

   Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

   the nclex may not tie up with your experience well or so i was taught in nclex prep class. you need to think of it as an "ideal situation". the question is ... only lpn or only uap (no rns) because this is a delegation type qs. it does not have anoth...

9. Priority question

   Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

   At first I was thinking - 3 y.o. old autistic boy but than the rational for most priority questions is that you act on acute illness first and then the chronic one. The blood pressure systolic 150 put him in Hypertension level 1 and risk for stroke...

    Did you feel you did OK about the test when you finished it? I had only 75 and I am not sure... Someone told me I supposed to feel how I did but I have no idea. I don't know if this a good or bad sign (I mean have no confidence about if that was good...

13. Question (disaster/emerg.)

    Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

    It was one answer question (not filling in space type). It was worded as "to send" to get medical help. I re-read every question before answering and tried to visualise it. So, all of them were assessed (no pulse, Glascow 13, etc) and it's up to you ...

    Purlple replied to anissa's topic in NCLEX

    I got 3 (garlic, ecinasea, herbal teaching) questions. I knew only answer for garlic. As well, I got a question about Progressive Relaxation Technique and how it properly done. Hmmm??? I read later that it is a specific muscle relax. technique.

15. Question (disaster/emerg.)

    Purlple replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX

    I chose #2. My rationale was that he has a fair chance to be OK after a treatment and airway ahead of broken leg (#3). (I wasn't thinking about any patient helping others.) 70 y.o. may be in shock or has a confusion. As well, perhaps he has some othe...
