NCLEX-RN Exam on April 2011, need motivation?

Published

Hello Nursing World,

I finally decided to make an account after coming to this site almost everyday, for the past several weeks, to research nursing topics. It has helped me greatly and Thank you all for you contributions!

I recently graduated from an ADN program and I am soooo happy and grateful that I was actually able to complete it because it was the MOST challenging experience I have EVER gone through in my entire life. I have to admit, it has been extremely hard to get back to the studying for the NCLEX. It's like my brain rejects the information every time I try to pick up a book and do questions... my brain says: "oh, no not you again." hahaha.... ugh! :uhoh3: Never the less, I know I have to prepare for this beast which brings me to this post. I was thinking... Why not challenge some of you who plan on taking the NCLEX late? March/early April 2011? :yeah: What do you guys think? Maybe we can message each other here by the end of the day and share whether or not you met your daily goal. For example, I have 2 books (lacharity and Davis Q&A) and I plan on doing 100-150 questions a day until my test date. Even if I do 20-25 in increments throughout the day, the point is to do them daily. Then I will come here and share how my day went. That way we can motivate each other through this excruciating journey.

Whaddayasay huh?!?.... I plan on starting this Sunday... Let me know if any of you guys are interested, I would love to motivate and be motivated by you guys... We need to get together and tame this beast! Lets do this!!!!:lol2:

aside from ssspppidermmman pneumonics there is also the my chicken hez tb, and mrs wee as well as v chips lol..

Thank you Mrs Whitney!! I just want to get this information straight in my head. 13 more days before I test.. I am nervous.

Mrs Whitney do you happen to know what PPE is required for the different isolation precautions?

@julieinny125

thanks fro all the advice.... i just boought the lacharity book yesterday and plan on covering material this weekend

okay here's an easy way----- Airborne: Gown, Mask (depends on what type of Disease), private room

Note:

TB- N95 mask, negative air pressure room, keep door closed at all times.

other diseases related to airborne- use only surgical mask

Droplet : Surgical Mask, unless you anticipate splashes , you wear goggles, gown, gloves and other protective device), private room

Contact: gloves and gown, private room

Note: Do not cohort infectious patient with non-infectious patient, you can cohort patient with the same type of disease

Thank you Mrs Whitney!!!!!!!

You have been extremely helpful..

Mrs Whitney

I am back to bother you again...lol

Do you have any suggestions about what we need to know or how to study a disaster triage type situation?

@ tildor, prioritize those who have AIRWAY problems... remember always the rule of ABC...like a patient having difficulty breathin. Those who need immediate intervention, who have the chance to survive if treated immediately, otherwise die. Do not prioritize the ones who have less injury who could possibly wait for treatment until later neither the ones who are no longer breathing/ apneic. Think of this, if you see someone in the area, which one of these need emergent help?...

Hi Tatyana! Try Saunders Q&A and La Charity! i know its very nerve wrackin! i hope i can get my eligibility soon! good luck to us!
