   Congratulations!!!

3. SATA questions

   sara42975 replied to BANJ's topic in NCLEX

   Right on. Don't let anxiety get you tripped up. Answer each option individually. Trust your instincts. I also found that the questions on the actual NCLEX are not as difficult. No one's trying to trick you-- just testing what you know. Good luck on y...

4. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   sara42975 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   Relax. I searched high and low for someone who got the good pop-up but found out they failed. Doesn't happen. Congrats! You passed!

5. Nclex eaxm rn or lpn??

   sara42975 replied to Rayisa's topic in NCLEX

   Oh dear. There are countless differences between the role of an RN and an LPN and if you had taken those RN classes you mentioned, you would know. The actual nursing courses are different -- has nothing to do with college core courses. LPN's don't te...

6. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

   sara42975 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   I understand your pain. I took the NCLEX-RN on Friday and less than two hours later was trying the pvt trick. I got the good pop-up. I paid for quick results today and found out it was true. I did pass. But the past couple of days have been hard. I ...

7. Where do I begin?

   sara42975 replied to Step2012's topic in NCLEX

   Practice! You said you have Saunders so start with that. When you find a weak area or something you've completely forgotten, stop what your doing and go back to do a full review. Once you've git a good start, start adding some other types of study qu...

8. How long do most people study for NCLEX?

   sara42975 replied to cacurlytop's topic in NCLEX

   You can't study too much (although my mother tried to convince me of this, telling me I was going to get confused and forget everything). There is no trick to pass to test and replace knowledge and being able to use it. I graduated in December and to...

9. And the waiting for the results is more agonizing than taking it. Srsly!

   sara42975 replied to purplechicxiii's topic in NCLEX

   I suggest using a variety of different study tools. The review programs tend to be a little redundant and relying on "strategy" to pass will not help. You've got to know the content. Using a variety helps you to stop thinking only "strategy" and star...

10. And the waiting for the results is more agonizing than taking it. Srsly!

    sara42975 replied to purplechicxiii's topic in NCLEX

    I also took mine today. I got maybe 10 SATA's and a dozen or so priority questions. Seemed like more meds than I would have liked. Also seemed like alot of teaching and diet questions. Got the blue screen at 75 questions. My last question seemed easy...

11. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    sara42975 replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX

    At this point, the best thing you can do for yourself is PRAY! The exam content is a crap-shoot. As I am sure your experience has shown you, you cannot predict what you will be tested on. And there is a gazillion topics for those tricky testers to pi...

12. Just finished the NCLEX an hour ago...

    sara42975 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Oh what a day! And it's only just passed noon! I don't know if I had more anxiety before taking the test or if I have more now. 75 questions, maybe 10 or so SATA's, a dozen priority, seemed like alot of meds (which are the ones I dread the most), als...

13. What would the nurse be most concerned about?

    sara42975 replied to sara42975's topic in NCLEX

    @ RnfromUK My point exactly. If in real life my patient had developed a renal problem and i just flushed him with 1000 ml of fluid, i would be MOST CONCERNED! obviously I would EXPECT to see fluid overload, but a patient with a functioning kidney sho...

14. What would the nurse be most concerned about?

    sara42975 replied to sara42975's topic in NCLEX

    so the key here is... only pick answers that rate directly to information in the question and don't look for other problems. and don't think in terms of real life scenarios. Thanks for you input. wish me luck... 18 hours and counting...

15. What would the nurse be most concerned about?

    sara42975 posted a topic in NCLEX

    So... studying for NCLEX... which is FRIDAY! I've been reviewing Kaplan questions and came across one I thought I'd share. "After abdominal surgery, a client is admitted from the recovery room with intravenous fluid infusing at 100 cc/h. One hour lat...
