I Flunked NCLEX!!

[Q.]

On a "sample" NCLEX test hosted by my local newspaper, with the exception of the first few L&D related questions - I flunked!

Thank god we don't have to re-take the dang thing.

Now imagine some hump takes the quiz, and by chance gets 100% or scores better than his nurse-friend. It will totally diminish what it takes to be a nurse and what a nurse really does. Again.

13/15, but I also agree that the last question was crapola....

13/15. The question about the IV drip rate was crap. You need to know what type of typing tubing you have in order to calculate it.

yeah, i agree on that one. i just guessed at a gtt rate of 10, and got it.

13/15--missed 2 of the OB questions (tol' ya i sucked at OB )

12/15 and whoever said the IV drip rate question was bogus is RIGHT.

9/15 yikes!!

12/15...bout normal for me. Tho i do question the weight loss for the infant...even converting to Kg's it comes up as too much. Also I think the 42 week gestational two hour second stage is dystocia( Difficult) not should dystocia??

[litepath]

er...shoulder dystocia..sorry!

I wanted to take it and was on the third question, but I was too distracted by the blasted moving ECG-like graphic running constantly across "NURSES QUIZ" that wouldn't quit. Sheesh.

When I took my NCLEX review last year, the lady who taught it said to assume macrogtt tubing unless the question specified microgtt tubing.

But still, there are both 10 and 15 gtt/cc tubings, so I got the question right by guessing that it was 10.

Still thankful for pumps though.:)

BTW, 13/15. I should have done better since it was only a year ago that I took it!

I missed shoulder dystocia and the drip rate questions.

The baby weighed 3630 grams, lost 346 grams...which is less than the 10% rule.

11/15... I'm still a student though so I was actually kinda happy with my score! Just out of curiousity Susy, why did they have a practice NCLEX in the paper?

14/15, I missed the last one.
