May Nclex takers...come and join hands...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

apparently, ive been waiting for other people to start a support group for may nclex takers.....but no....so here i am.....

im taking my nclex on the 7th of may...hopefully, i pass this time. im tired of living a non-RN life......

i'm doing this question on saunder's 3rd ed cd and i'm soo confused with their answer..the question regarding cpr asked to prioritize the following:

1. check for a pulse at the carotid artery

2. perform chest compression

3. determine breathlessness

4. initiate breathing

5. open the client's airway

6. determine unconsciousness by shaking the client and asking "are you ok?"

the answer in the cd is 563421

i thought the first step is determine that the client is unconscious as opposed to being intoxicated, sleeping or hearing impaired.

i also thought that pulselessness is determined before giving chest compression...i will prioritize it as 653412..what do you think? guess they mixed it up...

it is right read basic life suppot..you have to determine responsiveness first and then do head tilt chin lift that means open airway, look (for chest rising) listen and feel for pulseand initiate cpr.

Canada_2ndtimer,

yeah I have, that's why I'm pretty sure I failed, again. :bluecry1: It's just so hard to have been waiting this long and not think that I failed. Its so depressing and frustrating to have to go through this a second time. I don't what else to do if I have to take it again. I feel like I tried so hard this time and sigh :sniff: i jus don't know anymore...

Thanks Jon, I know. It just gets me down when I know other people who took it the same time as I did or after me have already found out that they passed. :scrying: just makes me wonder why I have to wait so loooong :confused: sorry to be so negative, its just really hard for me right now.

hey everyone, it's kay again...i took the nclex two days ago (may 19th) and at 265 questions...

i passed

so hopefully that eases the minds of anyone else who gets 265 questions of their exam. this was my 2nd attempt at the nclex and all i can say is, take your time with every single question. my first time, i got pretty impatient after not finishing the exam after 75 questions and i went downhill from there from just rushing and not paying full attention. i'm a fast test taker at school so i wasn't used to this situation. this second time, i just took my time on every single question -- up to question 265 -- and hoped for the best.

i wanna thank you guys...i wish i had stumbled upon this forum earlier. it really provided a lot of mental and emotional support for the grueling 36 hours i waited for my results. (i know others can't to the quickresults thing, and props for you guys enduring the wait).

i wanna keep updated with all my fellow may test takers...good luck and take your time! :redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe

:ancong!::clpty:

hey there! you got your results now! wow..way to go rn. i've got 265 qs too..well i told you that before right?
