   I know many people who passed at that many questions. My girlfriend passed last week w/108 questions. Don't worry most of us feel horrible after taking NCLEX. Go out and do something wonderful for yourself.

2. Test question - how would you answer?

   gij1 replied to PJMommy's topic in General Students

   I would pick BP monitoring, would be the first indicator of internal bleeding & pt. going into shock from loss of blood. ABC's (airway, breathing, & circulation) first when answering any test question. Pain is ruled out as the guy could sti...

6. RE: Help with failed boards

   gij1 replied to Zar's topic in New Nurse

   Just begin a organized system to study. Start w/your weak points, make flashcards for typical drugs & all labs. Complete 100's and 100's of NCLEX practice questions. I liked Kaplan online, expensive, but gave me tons of lectures, 1000's of que...

   gij1 replied to iliket3's topic in New Nurse

   You do not help the most critical first, but others less critical so they can then can help you care for others. Diaster drill questions on the NCLEx are tricky. I had disaster drill questions on my test also.

11. I am a male L&D nurse

    gij1 replied to Dayray's topic in General Nursing

    One is in the dark ages if they think a male can not be a good L&D nurse. Why in the world does it matter if male or female? We do not even question the sex of an OB but the sexist view STILL persists for nursing. To the male L&d nurse, mo...

    That is a good question. A liver transplant would be consider if all other options have failed & the pt.'s liver has cirrhosis to the point of threatening pt.'s life. Hepatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the liver parenchyma occuring in hep...

    gij1 replied to CHATSDALE's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any idea how Hep C affects the body? Milk thistle is NOT going to make it go away! That is dangerous information to give someone that is seeking help. If interferon treatments do not work, one should consider alternative medicine being...
