I agree, and if there is still confusion clarify it with the ordering physician or you can even call up the pharmacist you guys go through and ask them. I'm truly sorry to hear this story. Is this your first year? just stay strong and positive until...

I'm so speechless after reading that, and i'm not sure if its from the lack of support from the other nurses or that aide's audasity. Seems like you should take matter into your own hands and start to file formal complaints and also write and keep no...
hey everyone! i took my boards today and the computer shut off at 85, i sat there stunned with my mouth hanging wide open. i walked out in a state of shock and cried on the way home. i know for sure that i got the last one wrong, and i'm just sooo fr...

Before taking my nclex exam i could not afford to take a review class. I purchased kaplan on-line Q-bank for $99 for 6 months and it was worth every dime. Its actually a lot harder than the actual nclex exam itself. And i had a few similar questions ...

I wish you all the luck, and will be praying for you. Do not let your nerves get the best of you. I took mines a week a go, and i was soooo nervous but i got there an hour early so i prayed and read my bible and this calmed me a whole lot. Try and fo...

i've heard something similar to this, i heard they were gonna change a majority of it to select all that apply, imagine that....that would just increase the shortage of nurses...

Anytime gurl!!! Us nurses have to stick together!!! And you will pass, just give it to the Lord, as long as you do your part physically...studying and preparing, and God will handle the rest.

First and foremost my prayers and my heart go out to you. Seems like you let your nerves get the best of you, i know trust me....i get the same way. It seems that if your getting questions like those, go with the most critical one, think along the li...
You are soooo right prayers can move mountains. And the more you study the rationales,the more it starts to make sense. Studying for the nclex is hard, its just like being in school again as far as the time factor is concerned. Anyway i hope you kick...
its okay...i think as long as your scoring 65 or above you are good. pace yourself. the first time i took kaplan i did horrible and cried like a new born baby after ward. since than i have been pacing my self, 20 questions at a time and my scores are...

Omg...and i thought i was the only one...the kaplan q-bank is pretty hard, but i'm getting a teenie bit better at it, not enough for bragging rights of course. when i took it the first time and scored like a 50%, i literally right after broke out in ...
hey, i know what you mean, my test date is march 6th and i have been freaking out ever since i scheduled my date...so i know what mean. but as long as your putting in your time, studying and praying...i'm sure your gonna do fine and best of all you h...

This almost brought a tear to my eye!!! Goodness i know what you mean on so many levels, i vowed the same thing. I had a nursing instructor who had been previously my co worker. When we worked together she had always been very mean and rude to me. Wh...
