Its easy to say. I have to wait for another 45 freaking day to get my eligibility again and then wait for another month to receive it tru slow mail in CA..then another three months to waste for this freaking exam that wont let you pass. I dont want to spend another amount of money to attend review class , buy all this freaking book ..doesnt even help at all..cause the question on NCLEX is different from the book... I didnt over do it..I know what i've study this time ..but they ask you stupid questions on the test..that's what it is..
Believe me I know it isn't easy to say. I passed on third attempt and I studied differently, I structured time just to study and no one interrupted me. I practised and practised questions and read the rationales. The art is understanding what the question is asking and for most you can discount a couple of the answers then think of Maslow, ABC's etc to determine the right one.
They are not stupid questions, the test is to ensure that you can work as a safe nurse
Most of the questions i've got is about nurse in a conference..nurse is doing this health program..how do you apply your Maslow's and ABC's on this kinda question when they dont ask you about bedside nursing topic???Its ridiculous. SATA...i mean what the hell is that?? why just ask a straight question on how you make someone feel safe..when you are taking care of someone sick..do you say Select All that Apply???
i got 12 SATA and 12 meds. My 2nd question was abt viagara. so i think i got that one right so it didnt ask me for a while. i was praying god pls stop my pc at 85 but no it was going and when i hit 150 my eyes were already tired.....so next time first 85 i will focus really good....
