For example, Varicella and SARS is airborne and contact, so for nclex would you pick n95, private room, gown and gloves?

Thank you so much for the clarification. One last queation, are there any other diseases that have multiple precautions because I am only using the acronyms MTV, SPIDERMAN, and MRS WEE to study for infection control section. Do you think that's sufficient for NCLEX?

Yes doing Uworld is suffiecient for the nclex. All the info from the study guide is in Uworld seriously!! Do every question and go over the rationales and then go over the study guide and you'll realize that study guide is like a refresher. Understand your infection control well but not that damn well like what you're trying to do. It is minimum comptetencyy test, not a medical school STEP exam. I also suggest you try some nclex 4000 questions as those reflect how simply worded the nclex is.

Did uworld with a 54%( due to second guessing myself to check if I was right on on residual info or not) and never finished kaplan qbank with 500 questions left with a 58% avg. Got a 54% on question trainer 7 and finished nclex on 6/30 with 75 questions and have been getting the good pop up ever since. Believe in yourself and go with your gut/conscious telling you what the right answer is.

Thank You. I have done all of the uworld qbank and i re-read my notes every other day. My concern is its imposssible to retain all the content from 1900+ questions, did you feel the same way. I know scores dont matter but I averaged 58% before redoing my wrong questions.

Yes there are a few but it's unlikely that the NCLEX will get that specific.

Most are vital that either involve secretions or lesions. I don't know those acronyms as I studied differently. The questions I recall were more like who can you place together two patients with c diff or a patent with TB and a patient with varicella. What PPE is needed for airborne precautions? What order do you put on and remove PPE?

Aside from the most common (TB, measles, whooping cough/pertussis, varicella, MDRE, MRSA, VRE, c diff, scabies, VRSA...) the more exotic conditions (like Q fever) won't be expected to know everything about and hospital ID will give you the info you need.

Felt the exact same way before my test, like i was forgetting everything after I finished the qbank. If you already finished the qbank with 58% first time round and review your wrong ones then you're more than ready. Uworld is very specific to nclex!! Don't know if they have test takers writing questions or something but this resource is spot on. If you understand the major do and don'ts of nursing from Uworld then you are well prepared. Thing is when you see a question on nclex its more than likely gonna relate to some topic on Uworld. Uworld is way more involved than the nclex and requires a whole lot more thinking . While nclex gives you questions a new nurse should be able to answer.

Awesome, that really relieves my anxiety, so they are very easy compared with uworld then? I just wanna thank again for taking time out to answer, I can only imagine how stressful of a time this must be to wait for results!

No problem at all!! I would have loved to have someone ease my mind before the big test!! I wouldn't say very easy but its a lot more simpler and you can pretty much look at the answers and systematically remove the three wrong answers with the moderate questions and remove atleast two with the harder ones. If you finished uworld and know why each answer choice is correct or incorrect then you are more than ready for this test. Pretty much if can pass several 75 question tests from nclex 4000 then you are ready.
