ok, so i took nclex rn on the 17th and it shut off with 75 great right well no not so great. all that keep going through my mind was how people said oh if you get meds that means its low level and your not doing well and if you get alot of sata thats a good thing. so by question 10 i was a goner for sure. to break it down i had 2 math calc ( know your mcg/ml) 2 yes only 2 sata, 25 meds/teaching , 15 infection control, about 2 or 3 just basic if someone had a distended bladder what do you look for type questions and the rest were priority/ who do you call back, and one psych (theraputic comm) and a ekg strip which threw mw off i wasnt expecting. i had no delegate like which pt do i give the lpn or aide or ob or reg psych stuff.
so i left thinking the questions i had were horrible and i have no clue. i had to have bombed because i didnt get any delegations and i only had 2 sata and all those meds must mean i was below the line. a friend from school went with me and took hers and her results posted the next day (yesterday) and there was nothing for me all day long so i had to face the facts i was one of the 11% who fail at 75. i was ready to start suzannes plan and my good friend from school and some very encouraging fols on this board said no, wait the whole 48 hrs til you give up.
well i happen to ck the website one more time before i gave up and bam there was my name. :loveya:
i was so sooooooooooo excited! thanks to everyone that listen to me freak out about thinking i failed and everyone who hasnt tested dont beleive the hype about that if you get alot of sata thats a good sign because apperently that means nothing and alot of med teaching questions must be a good sign too!
thanks and good luck!!:yeah:
well people dont believe the hype

Congratulations!!! Way to go!!
I take mine in July. Can you give me an idea of what you're referring to for a mcg/ml question? Math is my weak point and I'm practicing all I can.
Thanks!
from what I remember it was like the pt weight 165 lbs and the dr wanted xx mcg/kcg of xx drug and the drug comes in 250 mg in 250 ml iv bag
its not exact wording cuz I cnt exactly remember but i do remember seeing a question close if you search on one of the nclex math posts
