PGH feedback (continued) - Page 8

can someone leave tips for the NPE exam? I am going to take it this coming march 22. thank you in advance!

thanks a lot! I can't find my sia and my udan. what i am reading now is the carl balita nursing review. hope that is enough!

By the way mikeru22, can you remember some topics that were included?

Questions would include funda and some MS concepts. The first half questions are easy and would only yield 1 point each.. However, I did had a problem answering the next half, which weigh 2 points each and requires your critical analysis and judgment.

There are some items on basic anatomy (maximum bladder capacity) and physiology (where does a certain macronutrient is primarily absorbed/digested).. foods allowed or prohibited in specific diets (low purine diet).. which insulin to be aspirated first (Regular or NPH).. babinski reflex.. bloodborne illnesses (which instance will cause transmission).

I can hardly remember most of the questions.. but I can say that it's a fairly challenging exam.. most of the 2-item points are very tricky and can be compared to NLE questions. I didn't even expect that I will pass on my first take for it was a year after I took the NLE, and I was having my training then so I failed to browse any review material.

So I advise that you study well.. and during the exam, pray. I guess, the latter helped me in getting a barely passing mark.

I'm scheduled for the panel interview on July.. still got a long way to go. Fortunately, I was recently hired as a probationary staff nurse in a tertiary hospital in Pasay. But, I'm still considering to work in PGH (if I pass), so I will go on with the process.

same questons i had/ the last uestion was what is babinski reflex..

i am as well scheduled for the panel interview in July 2013.. see you JDSC..
