NCLEX-PN study group!!!

Published

Everyone getting prepared for the NCLEX-PN...I have an idea! :idea:

Let's use this thread to start our own study group. We can share random information, advice, work on questions, etc. I was looking at the "anyone up for random fact throwing?" thread and that has a lot of great info but it seemed more geared towards RNs, so I thought..lets do one for PNs!!

We can do it totally randomly or we can work by systems, diseases, meds, etc... I have plenty of study books to get me prepared, but I thought this would be a great way for us to help each other and hopefully increase our chances of being successful at NCLEX. :grad:

Who's interested??

Specializes in Long Term, Psych, Dementia, Rehab.

hey francis...i've been goin over the flow rates (total vol x gtt factor/time in min) and calculating a dose (dose/available x quanity) and some of the conversions. how about you? try not to think about it for the whole 12 days...you'll drive yourself crazy...it seems like you're preparing yourself pretty well so give youself a little break and relax a little...i know it's easier said than done, but breathe...you'll be fine!

Usually tells you in the question what it requires

Specializes in ASC, Infection Control.

francis rey - this is what my clinical instructor, a nurse practitioner, told us about rounding meds:

if the dose is less than a whole number, i.e. 0.578 mL, you DO NOT round up. in this case the answer would be 0.57 mL.

if the dose is more than a whole number, i.e. 1.389 mL, you DO round up - in this case, the answer would be 1.39 mL.

i hope this helps :) ooh, by the way, i got an interview for next week! woohoo! it's not my ideal job, it's in LTC, but an interview all the same!!!

another friend of mine just took PN exam yesterday. she barely got any infection control questions, but my other friend got TONS of infection control questions (what isolation do you use for certain disease, what order do you dress/undress for certain isolation, what implementations do u take with different isolations). so just goes to show...we should learn as much as we can :)
