Disappointed Furure Nurse

[Nursingis4me11]

Suzanne, I am new to this board. I completely understand your message, b/c that is exactly how I studied. I probably answered more than 5000 questions, but I did not always read the rationale for the items that I either guessed right or it was of an educational guess. However I found that my rationale for picking a particular answer was somehow justified by good reasoning, but I would also understand where the rationale was coming from, especially on the priority questions. I really thought I was going to be okay with this test. I am an anxious test taker,but I was still able to make As and Bs in nursing school (1-C). This test was so different any of the test I practiced. I took the ATI test at my school and did okay on them, but still I felt like it did not prepare me well enough for what I was going to see. I took 256 questions, and the majority of them were priority and med questions. I felt okay about 1/2 of the med questions but some were ones that I have never seen. Sorry this is so long.......I guess my question is...why do most of these books and programs not give you enough priority and delegation questions? I knew that I was missing some of the priority questions b/c it seemed like every other question was one. I must have been tinkering on the border for awhile, but could never answer enough right in a row. Thanks for listening, Disappointed Future Nurse:nurse:

Good luck on your next attempt at passing NCLEX.

Uh.....perhaps this one belongs on the NCLEX forums.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck for next one. I'll tell you what clicked for me figuring out how the tackle the insane priority questions, and maybe this might help you too. Forget reality. Think ABC. One of the pts have either an Airway, Breathing or Circulation need.
