    onyx77 replied to TSURN2B's topic in General Students

    onyx77 replied to courtneyanne1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed with 100 or 103 questions - I didn't look after question 100, but I know that it was only a couple questions after that. Don't worry! There is really no way to tell by the number of questions...

  14. CHF and HTN

    onyx77 replied to iratchka's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    BP is probably high from the FVO. Lasix is a diurectic and will decrease fluid volume thus lowering BP. Decreasing BP will not increase fluid volume (at least I've never heard of that happening)....

    onyx77 replied to sstars's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try not to worry about it! Again - easier said than done! I have seen people post (from CA) that they have gotten their results in 4 days and some that waited almost 4 weeks. Try to keep your mind...

    onyx77 replied to wackyj2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. Am I required to report med errors?

    onyx77 replied to suewolfie08's topic in General Nursing
