Low level or High level?

I took the NLCEX today with 75 questions and I got mainly what everyone else has been getting - priority, universal precautions, mark all that apply and meds. With the drugs, I only got "What would you worry about with this med?" No diagnosis, no patient, nothing but a drug I've never even heard of! I had 8 or so of those! Are those low level questions? I went to the Hurst review and they said that anything with straight memorization was low level. They also said that there were 10,000+ drugs and that they wouldn't just test on straight drug names, but they did me!

So what does this mean - does anyone know? I just can't believe that I had so many straight med questions and that is my weakest area. Plus, I had no idea what any of those drugs were! :(

Hmph! No replies... I guess I'll just continue to worry! ;)

I'll find out tomorrow if I was in the low level questions or not when I find out if I passed or failed. Hopefully I passed!

That sounds like my exam. I had 75 questions and I passed. Good luck

Thanks for the reply! And for the encouragement. I hope I passed - I can't wait to say Laura RN. Congrats!

Granted my boards were 11 years ago but it was the beginning of the computerized boards...

I will go to my grave believing I only did 57 questions rather than 75.... I looked up and saw "QUESTION 54" I answered 3 more and then the computer shut off.... I absolutely freaked out!!! I went to the proctor and she checked and said..."No it says you did 75 questions"...she couldn't explain the "question 54" at the top other than saying..."you must have flown thru the last 21 questions" and laffed at me.

I do remember my med questions...2 were on Tylenol of all things.... the doctor orders Tylenol 650mg... you have 325mg on hand...how many tabs do you give?.....I KID YOU NOT... that was my board question!!!! The next 48 hours were total agony.... I knew if I didn't do all 75 I would have to retake and OMG>>>> not enough valium in the land for that to happen... and then the Tylenol question on top of that....I thought that maybe I had failed eveything else and the computer wanted to have at least one right answer....

any way...I passed...so don't sweat until you have results because honestly you never know...

Good luck
