I passed!
Hi everyone, Thank you all for your support! This website is the best. Sorry, but I haven't checked this website since I last posted because I was busy looking for jobs and such. For those of you interested in the mnemonics I used in preparing for infection control, visit this thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/f197/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html Good luck to everyone and my prayers are with you.

I passed!
Hello everyone, I took the test on October 3rd Thursday and found out October 7, Tuesday morning that I passed! I was completely devastated when I didn't see my name on the ca bon website 48 hours after I took the test so don't feel too bad if you don't see your name right away. I had lots of med questions from the beginning of the test, lots of infection control, lots of prioritization, 4-5 sata, 3 math calculations, and 1 delegation. The computer shut off at 76 questions. I want to say thanks to everyone who contributed here. I've been studying for about 1 and a half months for the test and usually about 2-4 hours a day except on weekends. I used Suzannes's plan and went through Saunder's 4th ed. comprehensive review. I did tons of questions from Saunders, nclex 3500, that prioritization & delegation book, and questions from california school of health sciences review that I went to. I highly regard the random facts and infection control thread here in preparing for the test as well. I killed the infection control area by using the mnemonics someone posted here about mrs. wee, ssspppidermmman, my chicken hez tb, and vchips. Know that as well. Good luck to everyone on their test.

Oh boy I am freaking out (HepB vax)
I just started nursing school and I received the hepatitis b vaccination. A couple of hours later, my eyes started to turn red like I had conjunctivitis. I saw the doctor who gave me antiobiotic eye drops. During the next three weeks I experienced severe headaches, burning, red eyes, photophobia, dizziness, nausea, tingling down my arms, and lower left and right back tenderness (possible kidney inflammation). However, I do not have a fever. My family has a history of Lupus and I am waiting for the results of my ANA panel. I do think that it was the hepatitis B vaccination that may have triggered a lupus flare.
