I took the NCLEX today and I just know I failed it. I understand that's how everyone feels when they leave but I looked up some answers on questions that probably should have been easy and got them wrong. Also, using the ABC stragedy just wasn't wo...

Actually, I remember having some meds with both generic and brand name and some with just brand name. I would study broad for meds and the more popular meds. For instance, know your cardiac classes (beta-blockers, Ace, etc), your heparins, broncho...

Yes, please try to relax and so somewhere!! If you read my previous posts I was absolutely POSITIVE I had failed!!! I looked up tons of my questions that I could remember and new I missed many, easy ones I thought. Leave the computer and go do som...

Please try not to over analyze whether you passed or not. I agonized for 2 days. The worst thing I did was sit at the computer looking up answers and looking for people that had the same type questions, etc. My husband had to take away the compute...

Wow, I just noticed all of my typos throughout these posts. Sorry I haven't slept in days. BTW, several people in my class that have had 76 questions have passed. Also, everyone that has had 265 questions have all passed as well as everyone with ...

I passed!!!! Please, have hope!!!! I was certain that I failed!!!!! I looked up everyone I missed. I had lots of the easier type questions (or at least I think they were considered easier). I didn't think I had that many priority and delegation ...

I am stunned, I passed!!! I can't believe it, the worse 2 days ever!!!! I can finally sleep!!! What I have learned from this experience........Don't spend hours researching other people and their experience with the test. Don't go looking up ans...

I feel the EXACT same way. I should find out this morning. It's been 2 days. I can't imagine waiting 2-4 weeks!

I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy for you!!!!! I find out for sure Sat AM. I'm just curious.....Did anyone have any assessment questions or questions you thought may be the basic level questions???? I know I had a few and I know that is a bad sign....

I studied the NCLEX throughout my last semester of Nursing School. It was helpful for test doing the chapter you were currently on, like Cardiac, or something. However, I would defintely get a good prioritization and delegation book. I had many o...

Thanks!! That's what I'm hoping too!! I'm wishing everyone in my shoes so much luck. Ahhhhh, the agony!! I heard it would be horrible waiting but this is ridiculus! I hope all the one's we missed are the ones that get thrown out!!!!!! (And not...

If it makes you feel ANY better a friend of mine just past with 76!! She also swore she fail! I just keep looking back and think all the easy questions I know I got wrong! 2 of my friends say they felt the exact same thing but I don't think they go...

WoW, I'm praying that you guys pass!! I'm also struggling with the fact that I may have failed miserably. I keep telling myself, "Is it possible I actually missed sooo many it cut me off at 75?". I'm definetely not the best test taker but I'm not ...

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess I keep reading posts from NCLEX takers that received similar type questions and both have passed and failed. I let everyone know when I know!

Here is the website for NCLEX 3500. It's free and they have lots of questions! http://198.146.4.5/nclexrn3500/mainMenu.do;jsessionid=78D87026BDB43AE42F8DEB0FC4F821C3 I guess I'll know Saturday when if I pass or fail.

I will be graduating in December and moving straight to New Smyrna Beach. I am having a hard time finding salary info for local hospitals for New grads. Also, do hospitals take new grads around that area? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm so confused on these NG tubes. What is a dobhuff? What is a duotube? Are they the same thing? Do you not check residuals because they are in the duodenum? Has anyone given meds using the lopez valve and is anyone familar with automatic flushing s...

Do you know what a duotube is? Also, what would a 6 fr, 15 inch tube be used for?? Peds maybe? It's to short for an adult and I don't think it is a peg?

Thanks so much for your reply! Is this the tube that is also a PITA to give meds through as well because it is so small? Do you flush between meds if your giving more then one?

Hey everyone, I haven't been on here in a while but I just wanted to say that Wake Tech is not nearly as hard to get in as everyone makes it out to be. It's a good program and inexspensive. I used to be so worried I wouldn't make it in I also consi...

I'm looking for more info on getting into the actual Nursing Program. It is very hard to find someone at the school to give you answers. If your in the program, how many points did it take for you to get in?? Does anyone know when acceptance lett...

but I have been accepted in to the Fall ADN program!!!! My community college runs on a point system...I didn't think I would have enough points, but I guess I did. First try too!! I am an average student, I make mostly B's and maybe an A or two. I'...

I go to a community college and they use a point system....I have heard that the range of applicants accepted is about 150 to 250 points, I had a 167 points and was accepted--I am a B student, you just got to think that there are many A students but ...

Thank You, Thank You! Everyone!! Congrats to everyone else, and Gook Luck to everyone waiting......and to those who did not get accepted....I'm sorry, but don't give up on your dream and think it WILL happen next time!!
