just an idea... i'd like to start an new thread on infection control. the idea is to post "2 quick facts" regarding infection control (precautions, diseases,...) that would be helpful to prepare for the nclex exam. thanks for your cooperation. ...

Hello guys! I don't want to bring controversy on this forum nor I want to promote one product over another. Based on my personal experience, I tentatively may lean towards saying that Kaplan is overrated. Yes you heard me. Kaplan is not all that! ...

Congrats again Melinurse! I guess that you can agree with me that NCLEX as scary as it can it is JUST a test! Yes you're right it is ONLY a test... Best wishes in your career and I am sure that you'll succeed in your future Nursing Practitioner studi...

Neurology is very good. NICU is better though... Good luck with your MSN NP in the future. One of my friends just became a NP last month and she already got a very good job offer ($$$$) I'll be applying to anesthesia schools after 2 years of ICU expe...

Congrats Melinurse! Job well done! What kind of nursing are you going to do? I work in ICU (Medical Intensive and coronary care unit). I would advise you to do some kind of nursing speciality such as ICU, ER, Surgery since you seem to know your stuff...

Just stopping by to wish KPJR and MELINURSE good luck for their coming NCLEX exam. You guys you know your stuff and have been studying hard for the test. Best wishes and happy outcome on the test. Remember that the first 5-10 questions are critical. ...

Good luck Melinurse! I am sure that you'll do well. Don't worry about those SATAs. One more advice! NCLEX exam as scary as it can be, IT IS JUST A TEST... Have a positive mindset and make sure that you breathe! Best of luck and keep us posted!

Good luck Nancy! It sounds like you did great. Best wishes and I am sure that your next posting would be to say that you passed. I never heard of anyone failing with 20-25 SATAs... Job well done!

Select All That Apply question

You may be surprised about how well you did on the test. Recently most people who got 10-30 SATAs on their test passed. Don't worry about the number of SATAs you got on your test. Actually it may play in your favor. Good luck to you and best wishes!

well, it seems like satas as "high level questions" subject can be a long debate. i guess only pearson vue/nclex staffs may be able to tell what type of questions satas are, and if they are high level or not. i agree with suzanne that satas may be a ...

I agree with Eric"nurse" but I would add that (to answer the first posting of this thread question) SATAs may be high level questions. My reasoning is that the odds that you get a SATA question right are very low compared to other types of questions....

We used ATI at my school and the requirement was to get 71.3% to pass. I don't know the requirement from your school, but we needed to get at least 71.3% on the ATI which was the same thing as having 90% chance of passing the NCLEX the first time. So...

Stay positive and have time to breathe. NCLEX exam as scary as it can be, it is just a test. It's all about confidence and trust you have in yourself. Tell yourself that you can do it! Spend time reviewing infection control and prioritization/delegat...

Suzanne! With all my respect I have to respectfully disagree with you on the fact that SATAs questions may be high level questions. Yes those types are only a format of questions; but if you think about it, the odds that you'll get them right are ver...

Congrats GatorNurse! I knew that you did well. Best wishes in your career!

Based on my experience, I believe that there may be a misconception about SATAs. The fact that some people get many SATAs may actually play in their favor. During my test; also one of my friends had a same experience, I was getting a SATA question af...

Hola GatorNurse! Just dropping by to wish you good luck. I remember some of your postings in your "rare diseases" thread which were kind of cool. There is no doubt that you did well. Let me go further and say that you nailed it! Everything is working...

Hello there! I don't want to give you false hope, but the fact you got 24 SATAs, may indicate that you've been doing exceptionally well. My friend from school who recently passed the NCLEX with 75 questions, got 25 SATAs and she was one of our best s...

I had 1 drug question. It was filling in blank and they asked me to round my answer to 1 decimal. Hint: pt weight in lbs, drug given in mg/ml, drug to be given in mcg/kg/hr... Calculate ml/hr... VERY EASY! I am not discussing test questions. I am ju...

I didn't use Kaplan either and I passed with 75 questions. I mostly used Saunders book and other study tools such as the NCSBN online course review, Lippincott book and the 3500 Nclex review software. For all of you who are not using Kaplan don't fee...

Most of my friends and I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. And we all had at least 10 SATAs. It seems that when you are doing well, SATAs will keep coming. One my friend got 25 SATAs and she passed. You should not worry b/c I truly believe that you...

your answers are correct!

I use dimensional analysis for drug calc problems. I hope that I don't confuse you! If I do please accept my apologies. There are so many postings on the previous postings that went over these types of questions using the "steps" method. It can be lo...

So you've been hiding under your new screen name. Welcome back anyway! When r u testing? Good luck and best wishes former Buttercup from Pittsburgh... LOL
