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! 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? 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!!!!

Shambu if it doesn't allow you to go to the payment screen I believe this means you pass....I didn't believe in this before but it worked for me. Everytime i tried to reregister after "Delivery Successful" I couldn't and I passed so i'm pretty sure you are good :) Good Luck!
Tildor this is the notes that I found from school and the only thing I used to study for infection control.
Standard precautions - are used with ALL patients to prevent direct contact w/ body fluids.
Wash hands and use gloves when in contact with body fluids and wash after you remove gloves too.
Use mask/eye protection/face shield and use gowns if there might be some kind of splash.
Airborne precautions - N-95 particulate respirator mask, negative pressure private room, keep door closed, limit transport and pt wears surgical mask during transportation. (measles[rubiola], varicella[shingles aka disseminated herpes zoster,chicken pox], TB, SARS, smallpox, H1N1)
Droplet precautions - Use surgical mask if you will be w/in 3 ft of patient, private room, p.t. wears surgical mask during transport and limit transport. (Meningitis, Bacterial pneumonia, epiglottitis, pertussis, mumps, rubella[german measles], HIB, mycoplasma pn)
Contact precautions - use gloves and gown, remove glove and gown before leaving room, private room, should have their own equipment (i.e, bp cuff). (C-diff, impetigo, pediculosis, scabies, herpes simplex virus, ebola, klesiella pneumonia, MRSA, VRE, RSV)
To my understanding of what "airborne precaution" mean, I would say YES every contagious disease that is airborne would require airborne precautions. Hope this helps.
I think anything liquidy is part of intake, like jello, icescream, broth, soup, etc... specially if it has a number next to it indicating it is measured in liquid form "ml, liter, cup, oz, tsp etc"
