You can look into Morristown Memorial, or perhaps somerset medical center. There are a lot of hospitals, it just depends on how far you want to travel. Overlook, St. Barnabas.. Where are you now? IMO, you should stay put . If you take a look at the o...

Although Im sure those of you who have passed using Suzanne's plan are no longer reading this thread, Im curious as to how many have passed and how many questions you received Added: Suzzane4 NXLEX plan info: 07/08 revision of Suzanne's First Tip

What job did you get and where?

Try Suzanne's plan, worked for me ! Failed the first time with Kaplan, which I would not recommend. 265 X 2 & I passed on the second try...What an awful test, wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy You can do it though, try Suzanne's plan, if it work...

Nope...Totally different test..I think my second attempt was HARDER than my first time around, but I didnt study my first time around... Passed the second time w/ Suzanne's plan only.

What did you do to prepare the 3rd time ? Looks like I'll need some good advice I jusst took my 2nd test today, and definatly failed

I also take mine on Nov 21, for the second time. Luck to us both.

Can someone help clarify something please In school, we were always taught to approach a stroke pt from the unaffected side... And now while studying I see that when a patient has unilateral neglect (dont all stroke pt have unilateral neglect?) from...

thank you ! however that does not explain why we are taught to approach from the unaffected side, and the reference books say both... im sorry to be a pia, but im afraid im going to see this on the nclex.

Nope, just books..maybe i'll look in my med surg book Thanks

The book says both. Approach the stroke pt from the unaffected side, and the pt w/ unilateral neglect from the unaffected side. In school we were also taught to approach from the unaffected side, along w/ commodes and pt belongings, tables ect... Im ...

sorry to be a pest, but why the contradictions in the stroke pt..Its very difficult to explain what Im trying to say...I get that you approach someone w/ unilateral negelect from the affected side to show them that the side exists...but why then does...

Sort of like collateral circulation? Im reviewing for the NCLEX and in one paragraph, in Saunders under Unilateral Neglect says to approach from the affected side. Next paragraph, says to approach from the unaffected side...I just dont understand - ...

Ok, I get that...But why then, are we taught to approach stroke pt from the unaffected side...What am I missing? Dont all/most stroke pt have some type of unilateral neglect?

...I think I found Another inconsistancy ?? I found one - or am I wrong ? On the CD it says after a lumbar puncture for the first hour, the patient should be prone with a pillow under their stomach. I made sure I wasnt hallucinating and checked the ...

I would suggest Suzanne's plan. I am finishing it on Tuesday and taking my test on Friday :). I failed the first time using Kaplans complete program (classroom + qbank) . I feel soo much more prepared with Suzanne's plan ! Use it, It will help you. B...

Can you give a hypoglycemic pt pure sugar...Like out of the sugar container? I know giving simple sugar is preferable, but am unsure if pure sugar would be ok ?

I realized that after I posted it...DUH... Thanks :) I guess my question really should have been would pure sugar be better than say Orange Juice?

Im scheduled to take my exam on Nov 21 - for the second time. Im regularly doing questions from Saunders & following Suzanne's plan Not sure if this has been posted, but I found it interesting for triage in the field...I had a bunch of questions ...

Im not obsessing over meds either...hopefully it wont hurt me..But as Suzanne has said in the past, more than likely the meds we do see we'll have never seen before...
