Positive PVT trick

Specializes in Hematology/Oncology.

Woke up this morning. Psyched up. Ready to rock this exam.

Got to the building 1.5 hours early. walked in 30 minutes early to get ready for the exam. They said I could take it an hour early.

75 questions

20/75 SATA questions.

Stressed out, but last question was SATA and I had a lot of prioritization and delegation questions.

Looked online, tried to re-register.

kaplan mainly. all trainers, sample, and qbank.

PDA was alright. I didnt like some of their questions in regards to delegation, like a nursing assistant cannot do glucose meters but can remove a foley

Were the questions similar to those in Kaplan?

wording was similar, layout of the test was the same. Makes you comfortable taking it. Dont overthink the questions. Some of them are so simple, but they try to trick you.

Congrats!! I have an issue with PDA as well. So can the nursing assistant perform glucose meters? I have read different things, some saying it's not in their scope of practice and other resources stating they can perform them if they are experienced and trained to do so??

The "experienced and trained" is a straw man rationale.

It is either in their scope or not. It's like saying a nurse cant do chemo because "She has to be chemo certified". I think the nclex was pretty straightforward.

I panicked when I saw that.
