hi everyone!

i was just wondering if herbs are included in the nclex items.

their interactions with other meds could cause potential harm or whatever.

to those who encoutered herbs on their exams. please enlighten me.

YES! I recieved a question just before my test ended (around the 73rd ?). Unfortunately, I did not succeed and am retesting next week too. At the time, I was looking so dumbfounded when that particular question popped up. I marked anything AND I was wrong. So yes...study your herbs. You just never know.

I just took my nclex on thurday.. Had 265 questions...It took me 5 and half without a break but i found out I Passed

Herbal drugs are on the nclex. I had no idea that they would really ask me question like that. I cant tell you exactly what drugs but I remember getting like 3 questions on them. I also had about 12 select all that apply. Also i had questions on bioterriorism...so study that. I had questions on disaster planning.

I advise studying disaster training, herbal drugs, and doing those select all that apply. The questions varies and you never know what question your going to get.
