April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

Per the request of janina08 ;) I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :) :nurse:

I thought the same thing, but I looked at the rationale and it said to use the ABCs, because you have no reason to believe that the baby's airway is compromised. (I guess since it's NCLEX world and everything is perfect that that baby was probably sleeping or something? :lol:) But, the reason Kaplan said that the answer was tracheal shift was because that man's airway was compromised.

Thank you Mave.

So in what order would a RN see this patients?

1) tracheal shift

2) SOB

3) Bleeding

4) Unconsicous baby

:confused:

Thanks for the help and kind vibes. I REALLY appreciate it. I remember praying for everyone to pass, earlier this month, and will continue to do so and I keep telling myself that failing is not an option. Now I'm off to do more priority questions and brush up on neuro. I hardly hear people getting neuro on nclex though. Another question: should we focus on the weird diseases?? i heard they like to throw crazy stuff out there, stuff we've never even heard before. Any suggestions to brush up on?

Yup. In this question, that's the order in which you'd see the patients, going by the ABC strategy. :)

Anxiety prolly OR2CA. Did u post A-Z in march thread, where it said, "The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor?" If u did, Thank u again :)

I feel like I do not have any information in my head and the head is blank:bluecry1:

Time to sweat away. Good luck to all of us guys and to our comrades who are sitting on their thrones :yeah:

This order looks good, then I start to thinking about the extent/type of bleeding(pulsating vs. simple lac and location). Thats what I think I do with the SATA- I over analyze. Then I also read somewhere that in a major disaster you work with the person who is mostly likely to survive first- which also throws me off.
