2. Need help understanding acute, chronic, stable, and unstable

   pongtipRN replied to itsdebraanne's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   As a RN, I would obtain the first set of VS and if stable, delegate to the LPN or CNA the subsequent VS. But it also depends on the patients condition. If the patient is immediate post-op, I as the RN...

3. For anyone who's done the Kaplan Qbank?

   pongtipRN replied to kelso1001's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Those numbers are actually pretty good. I could never get higher than 64% on Kaplan, my lowest score was 58%, and they say to aim for 65%. I passed nclex with 75 questions, I agree with the other...

   Anything that requires teaching, patients going into a procedure, admissions and transfers go to the RN. Unstable patients go to RN (patient reporting any pain needs to be assessed, SOB, starting new...

5. NCLEX Candidate Performance Report

   pongtipRN replied to skygirl107's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I used the Kaplan question trainers and qbank. I also briefly used nclex 3500 (its free, there is a link somewhere on this site) but I found the Kaplan questions more challenging. There's also a nclex...

   pongtipRN replied to skygirl107's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   What is your study plan? Have u taken a review course such as Kaplan? You have an advantage in receiving your performance report because you can see what areas you did poorly in. Focus on those areas,...

   pongtipRN replied to pongtipRN's topic in LPN to RN

   Cheaters come a dime a dozen. It happens everyday, everywhere, it may be happening right under your own nose, whether you like it or not. If she's not caught, and she gets a higher mark than me, it...

10. How can I gracefully and tactfully say No?

    pongtipRN replied to pongtipRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Holypeas, please read the entire thread before commenting. The woman asked me for my work, I DID NOT GIVE IT TO HER. She asked around and got someone to DO HER CARE PLAN FOR HER. So no, I don't have...

11. How can I gracefully and tactfully say No?

    pongtipRN replied to pongtipRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Honestly, I have no desire to get involved. The other student doing the care plan is also a grown woman, who can make her own decisions. If she wants to do the care plan for her, let her be. I have...

    pongtipRN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I am in a Lpn to Rn program that I'd pretty fast paced, each semester is 10 weeks long. Anywho, I finished my care plan which took me 2 days to do and handed it in in time. One of my classmate just...
