Took the NCLEX today

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Ok, so I took the NCLEX today...Machine shut off at 100 questions...I honestly have NO idea how I did, but I know that is the norm...I studied really hard and feel as though alot of the information on the boards weren't really in the study materials I used. ( I used the Lipincott and Saunders books) There were no lab values, drug administration, maternity, cardiac, respiratory...things I studied lol...There were ALOT of prioritizing, a few questions where I had to put certian patients into rooms together, who would I discharge first...I hope I did ok, I'll let everyone know when I get my results...Good luck to anyone taking the boards!!!!!:nurse:

please keep me posted!!!!

I am scheduled to take mine in 6 days and have been studying the "made incredibly easy" disc, which asks( here is your patient, what would you do if this happened?) ( here is a disease, what is a common symptom of this?)

--more for a nurse to know what to look for--

and then i see on the net, it says questions to study like, ( a man is 75 with this symptom, vitals are these, what is he most likely suffering from?)

--more like a doctor making a diagnosis--

then i see flashcards covering AV nodes and something about the 0.8 secs and this is what causes the systolic pressure because of this...)

-- more like, for a specialist or genius or something lol---

then i hear there are 4 drugs listed in the refridgerator, which one can be taken out?

--more like for a pharmacist--

i have no idea what to study or how- everytime I think I may be prepared with the proper concepts or know what type of questions to answer, I hear something different.

I know all of the tests are different, of course, but there has to be some sort of uniformity somewhere?

If you had to choose one of the styles I mentioned above, what would you most likely pick, this is open to anyone, I will accept any help I can!!!

Please help me!!

The nclex exam is an national exam. Same standard apply no matter what State you take it in. It's the same everywhere.
