   jenndavis replied to mugs's topic in NCLEX

   Hi! I took my NCLEX today; 75 questions with a good pop up. No one can walk feeling like they rocked it, but I wasn't crying when I left. I used VATI and loved it. There are quite a few practice quizzes you can work on along with "assignments" and ca...

8. elevated pro-bnp

   jenndavis replied to jenndavis's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you for your responses, and also thank you for the article Esme. It took me a bit to read, but it was interesting. I'm thinking that this leads back to my Pt's uncontrolled blood pressure. When contacted, his daughter stated that she knew he ha...

    jenndavis replied to jenndavis's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you all. It is always a terrible feeling when you have no IDE where an answer came from. I appreciate y'all checking my work. My teacher said it must have been a typo, but I couldn't get a hold of her prior to panicking.
