Erinfly, Dont give up! As you know I just found out today I passed after the 2nd try. I just wasnt prepared the first time. I took a small break and took a Kaplan review. I found this helpful because the test banks look exactly like NCLEX. I onl...

Many thanks to everyone at allnurses! Your support throught all of this was more than I could of imagined. I wish I could hug everyone of you . We are truly a unique family and we all can say that we know what each other is going through. Its as if w...

I took the NCLEX for the 2nd time yesterday. The first time I failed with 265. When I was done I knew I didnt pass, I remember after 180 questions I just got frustrated and wanted to get out of there. I only took one break and was there the whole tim...

Hey Angel, I started reading your thread and I thought I was reading my story :) I took the NCLEX Wed and it shut off at 75. The first time I took it I failed at 265. I took Kaplan and I did the Quest trainers and the last two I got 65 and 66. ...

Hi all, I took my NCLEX today and I have to tell you it was the hardest test I ever took! I got to 265 questions but by about 180 I was wiped out! I know that I didnt pass:( I can feel it. I was so upset and exhausted by my 3rd hr all I wanted to...

Well I got my scores this morning an i did in fact fail. I am devestated. I have been crying all morning and now I have a terrible headache! I just went and bought the Saunders 4th edition and plan on starting to read tomorrow. This totally suck...

That was such a nice quote dragonfly! Tay......Im in the same boat, found out I didnt pass yesterday. All day I was a zombie! I feel better today. I will take a couple days and in a few weeks I will be going to Disney with the family and having a go...

Thank you to everyone on this site for all the kind words. It is comforting to know that there are others that share this unfortunate "bump in the road" and can relate to how I feel right at this moment. We are going to make it! Thanks again for a...

Thanks Erinfly. I too will be able to take my test sometime in Sept. I will try to remain positive and keep my head up. Its hard though, all of my good friends already passed and their test stopped at 75.

I can totally agree with you. Nursing school has been hell. I just turned 40 last week and for the past 4 years I have been a basket case. I have truly aged from this experience! I have aches and pains I have never had before:( I was so relieved...

You DID it! Yeah! Enjoy the day and go toot your own horn! I will find out tomorrow if I passed.

I used Kaplan book/questions (did not take the review) NCLEX 4000 for all my practice questions. HESI book to study from.

Good Job! If you were stressed at 75. Try doing the whole 265! That is what happend to me yesterday......I will find out the results tomorrow.

Thanks Suzanne! You made me feel a bit more hopeful.

Im from Chicago:) I will send positive thoughts your way. As hard as it is we have to remain positive. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Can someone tell me how I can determine if the ECG is originating in the atria, AV node, and ventricles? I am basically teaching myself. I think If it comes from the sinus node the p wave will be present and upright. I think.... Poohbear

I have an interview for a new grad internship program for a childrens psychiatric unit. As a new grad I am sooo excited and nervous! I really want this position and was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers for my interview. During school ...

Ok....Because I have not yet performed CPR on an actual human being I wanted to know how I would know if my compressions were adequate to facilitate circulation? This is one of our open book questions and Im not sure if there is even a way to know t...

Can someone please tell me what the rationale for using CAVHD in the treatment of multi-system organ failure/renal failure is? I just want a definition that I can understand without going into too much detail. thanx:)

i have a question....and yes it is from class. however we have freedom to find this answer any way we can using any source:) you find your patient pulseless and unresponsive. the only abnormality that you notice on the ekg monitor was multifocal pv...

Thanks everyone, Im almost done (May 16th) and I feel sometimes like I dont know everything Im supposed to know. There is soooo much. Im hoping it will all come together once Im on the floor:)

That is really interesting....So if CPR were being performed on a patient that had a foley, and doing it correctly. You would see urine filling up the foley bag.
