I completely understand how tough it is to apply the wealth of knowledge you have from studying the material. For me what it came down to is ABCs and Maslows heirarchy of needs. This doesnt work in every circumstance but for many questions this did help me. Not sure if you are an RN or PN test taker but I also tried to stick with the actual "functions and scope" of nursing. Some answers just seems so "medical" but then I said, would doing this or saying this be within the limits of "my" position? So in those cases I just stuck with the simplest answer (like positioning a pt rather than some other response that sounded right like apply O2). I dont know if any of this advice is helpful, but that is how I rationalized my answers on questions that I had no clue about. After all that if I just still had absolutely no clue i said well you cant go wrong with response #3!! :lol2: I passed with the minimum amount of questions (85 NCLEX PN).

Hi! I haven't passed my nclex-rn yet too, but my previous tries let's say were just 'crap' coz I didn't prepare the way I should. I studied when I felt like studying, didn't have a goal as to how many questions and not even memorize impt. fact not that I was lazy but because we were busy on many things as were new in America. Been out of school for a very long time. I am now on my 3rd month of preparing for a re-take, I should of taken the exam April but reqts' from my country caused delayed. I started answering the Saunders' 'content' and READ/UNDERSTAND the rationale and as I went on with other types of questions it became a little easier answering. I admit I can't sit and just read a whole book, won't retain so as I encounter a topic that's the time I browse the book, the MedlinePlus, CDC... Also the PDA by LaCharity is helping me deal with Priority Qs. I learned now, didn't have this book before,lol. I have also tried different resources to get used to different question construction. I say just keep practicing. The strategies may or may not apply, but knowing the content atleast you have the knowledge.

Hope God sees my effort and give me the favor of passing. I may not be that intelligent but I'm trying my best. Don't know what I'm going to do if I fail the 3rd time, I just feel so guilty on how patient and understanding my husband is, with me not working and having 2 girls growing.

With you only having a week or two left, maybe just keep answering content and UNDERSTAND the rationale and brush more with the 'hot topics' mentioned here. My 2 cents...

Need your prayers too. I'll be taking very soon once I get my ATT. It has been a roller coaster with these additional reqts.

Good luck!

Using Maslow...lets say a question was asking about a care plan and what would be a priority intervention or diagnosis. Using Maslow you would want to pick the option that addressed the most "basic" needs. For example, you wouldnt want to pick the response that states risk for isolation over Impaired gas exchage. Why? Because oxygen and the ability to breathe is a basic need and must be met before a person will worry about being isolated. Same goes for If the choice was between difficulty breathing and risk for injury. Again basic need (airway) must be met before worrying about a patients safety. This applies no matter what level the question is asking. Memorize the Maslow pyramid and remember those at the bottom are most important (PRIORITY).

So using that put answers in order. Ask yourself what would this be...physiological need? safety? love & belonging? etc... Put them in order and you will know what the priority is.

I hope this helps :)

oh my gosh a light just came on nobody ever explained that to me before so if its the question falls under physiological the answer will be something about abc or eating or health?
