I took the test on October 3rd Thursday and found out October 7, Tuesday morning that I passed! I was completely devastated when I didn't see my name on the ca bon website 48 hours after I took the test so don't feel too bad if you don't see your name right away. I had lots of med questions from the beginning of the test, lots of infection control, lots of prioritization, 4-5 sata, 3 math calculations, and 1 delegation. The computer shut off at 76 questions.
I want to say thanks to everyone who contributed here. I've been studying for about 1 and a half months for the test and usually about 2-4 hours a day except on weekends. I used Suzannes's plan and went through Saunder's 4th ed. comprehensive review. I did tons of questions from Saunders, nclex 3500, that prioritization & delegation book, and questions from california school of health sciences review that I went to. I highly regard the random facts and infection control thread here in preparing for the test as well. I killed the infection control area by using the mnemonics someone posted here about mrs. wee, ssspppidermmman, my chicken hez tb, and vchips. Know that as well. Good luck to everyone on their test.
Thank you all for your support! This website is the best.
Sorry, but I haven't checked this website since I last posted because I was busy looking for jobs and such. For those of you interested in the mnemonics I used in preparing for infection control, visit this thread:
Congrats to you. I have a question regarding infection control. Does anyone know if for contact precautions the door of the room is left open or closed? I looked in Kaplan and Saunders and could not find it.
Contact Precautions- door can remain open. PPE should be Gloves and Gown. Gown varies depending if the patient is incontinent or the nurse has a possiblility in coming in contact with blood & body secretions such as Urine and Feces.
Droplet Precautions- door remains open, spatial separation of 3 feet and PPE Mask.
Airborne Precautions- door remains Closed, negative air pressure changes of 6-12. PPE Mask.
