  2. Infection control questions

    voodoo replied to soccer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What I meant was learn the material and you will be prepared to apply your knowledge appropriately. Memorizing never worked for me either. If you have a solid base, you should be ready to tackle those...

    Learn/memorize what goes with the biggie disease processes: TB, MRSA, HEP A/B/C, etc.. and you should be ok. Think it

  5. Has anyone used ATI to study?

    voodoo replied to martha26's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As a new male grad, I disagree with New Male Grad. Sorry, but ATI is a great tool to have. It may not be the end all, but it adds another dimension to preparing for the NCLEX. I wished I had used it...

  8. Nclex Math Calculations??

    voodoo replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    voodoo replied to JAX_GRL's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's a good idea to know the diseases that show up as compare/contrast in the boxes and tables of our text books. Addisons/Cushings, AGN/Neph Synd., L side CVA/R side CVA, Ulc. Col./Crohns,...

  10. Nclex Math Calculations??

    voodoo replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX 5/30/08 and had 6-8 drug calcs, all requiring some conversions. Know your metric conversions ie: mcg/mg/g/kg, lbs to kgs, and oz's to mls and you should be fine. The 1 thing that sort...

  14. units with calculations?

    voodoo replied to Rn-08-NP10-ToBe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had the same question during my test yesterday. Whole numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number and don't include fractions, percentages, or decimals. I had at least 6 drug calc questions and...

    We are required to pass @ 100%. We can take the test as often as needed, but within a limited time frame. Find a method that works for you, and you'll do fine. Once in clinicals though, you have to be...

  17. Male Nurses/female Patients

    voodoo replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yep, I know what you're saying. I also know in the "real world" I won't have that shadow and I'll have to deal with things as they happen. I guess it's just the fundemental element of getting to know...

  18. Male Nurses/female Patients

    voodoo replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    I believe it is about respect and communication. I'm in my last semester of an ADN program and have never had a patient refuse my care either because I'm a student or because I'm male. I try to take...
