Yep!! finally taking the bad boy dec 1. ive been studying mostly saunders, exam cram, kaplan strategies, nclex pn 3000. im not confident in my content knowledge. Also, i score really low on select all the apply practice questions. Ughh! does anyone have any last minute topics or tips i need to stuff in thats already taken this test??? im soooo nervous and scared i cant sleep at night. i did do kaplans qbank and scored from 54-74 percent on the tests. i scored a 74 on the readiness test, 70's on exam cram, but poor on saunders. Any help would be amazing!!!
Meds are also my weakest part. I am praying and hoping that even though i dont know the meds hopefully the question will lead us to choose the right answer. For example if a question says something like this:A hypertensive patient is taking chonghdkhshuxizorizica (Clorpenzomani). Which side effects will the nurse watch for?
We will know that it is a hypertensive med even though we have no idea what the med is. I hope the questions are like that lol.
At this point try and study content esp. Ur weak Areas..trust me if u don't know the content u will be confused about the answers
begosh

Yes I do have PDA and love it! I failed NCLEX RN once and I can tell you infection control was plentiful (I got above passing), lots of which call/patient to see first, med calc (which I just had a total brain freeze and eventual meltdown). It was quite random as far as diseases.
One thing I noticed was when I missed the med calc question (somehow I expected having answer choices with ALL med calcs
), the computer picked up on this and kept prompting a calculation question.
Have faith, pray and relax. Know when to take a break when you feel anxiety setting in. We ARE going to have our license this year!
