1. How do you know you are above the pass point?

   spuropathy replied to spuropathy's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks everyone! I passed too! I tried the Pearsonvue NCLEX trick yesterday, however when I clicked next in the register button, nothing popped up, and I was so in nerves that I closed the window immediately. I thought I had failed, and could barely ...

   Thanks for replying. I had a lot of SATAs too.. although I really did not count how much of the categories I had. How did you do on your exam?

   Hello nurses/nursing students! I just want to know that how do you know you are above the pass point while taking the NCLEX? Do you have SATAs or priority questions? Let me know! Thanks.

   Same answers to the one above. I didn't know what a nomogram was but I'm going with that as well.

7. So sick of not having my own Patient !

   spuropathy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   You should really talk to the nursing school about this. While teamwork is a valuable tool, one should learn how to take care of a specific patient on his/her own, especially when you're on your fourth semester.

8. The "Teach a Student Something-a-Day" thread!

   spuropathy replied to agent's topic in General Students

   ^^ I definitely need to follow that. Procrastination is a bad habit of mine. I have learned that you should never EVER give a white IV fluid into a vein or a central line with the exception of Diprivan and TPN. NEVER. (Its not my fault, it has occurr...

9. Clinicals; is this what nursing is really like?

   spuropathy replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in General Students

   You know what they say; the first one is always the hardest one. I was in the same position as you 1 1/2 years ago, in a nursing home, with nursing home patients, and feeling that "where has all my 3 months of education gone to?".. all I seemingly le...

10. Is nursing school always so unorganized?!?!

    spuropathy replied to buggy87's topic in Student Assist

    It happens. Because of whatever that is you have to do, you may find yourself behind on readings. In those cases, what helps me is that the night before class, instead of skimming over and learning very few about the topic to be discussed, I just rev...

11. Am I too old to just be starting?

    spuropathy replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    You're never too old to be a nurse. Sounds to me, those 27 years you had were all filled with interesting careers, I am sure you'll do great with the program. Good luck.

12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    spuropathy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Simply, you can do it. Believe in yourself. I find that many of my nursing colleagues are anxious about test day, most of them are on anxiety medicines, but if you know the material, you shouldn't be anxious at all.

13. Manual Blood Pressures

    spuropathy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel like an idiot asking this, I really do. But please tell me the steps to get a manual blood pressure? Its been a year since I first done one, and I haven't practiced since. I forgot where to put in the exact position the cuff (how many inches a...

14. Hardest class so far...

    spuropathy replied to ColtsMom's topic in General Students

    Yes I am, as a matter of fact. :]

15. Why are we having so much trouble passing Med Surg?

    spuropathy replied to phoenixfire's topic in General Students

    I LOVE med-surg. Definitely my favorite subject. Its where everything makes sense for me. Just know the pathophysiology is my advice to you. Once you know it, the interventions and contraindications will start making sense. Memorization would do very...
