  1. Hi, I had a pt the other day who had been waiting for discharge for 3 hours. Literally sitting in his chair clothes on, ready to go. The doc told him he would be going home within the hour. He got...
  2. shut off at 100 something

    In my opinion, NO, I only had 8 SATA, I cut off at 75 and passed. I don't think it's as much about the question "type" as it is about the question "content". You can have a very high level question...
  3. shut off at 100 something

    YAY - you passed!!! I did say a prayer for you!!! Did you end up doing the trick first, I can't
  4. I took the review, and LOVED it!!! There was no real reason other than that was what she thought was best for us. Sitting there, not having a true "end" in sight, is mentally and physically hard on...
  5. exam

    Just wondering if anyone experienced failing NCLEX with just 75 questions? I only had 75, and feel pretty rotten about it. I won't get my results until
  6. exam

    Most of my questions were priority and application. I had a few SATA. I guess it's normal to feel like this, huh? I don't know anyone who has walked out saying "oh, I did great"!! lol I did to the...
  7. NCLEX Question Style (Saunders vs. Kaplan)

    I think that is key. Know the processes, and be able to look deep into them. The answer that you "know" will most likely not be a choice, you will have to go through the whole process to choose the...
  8. Took NCLEX today. Crazy!

    What are the other alternate Q's? I had around 8 SATA's and cut off at 75. Did pearson, and got the good pop up. I thought for sure I had failed.....I was thinking SATA were the "highest" level of...

  11. Took my NCLEX-RN today.........

    Was it what you expected or worse? I am just sick right now. Trying to cling on to any amount of hope I can find. I know I have prepared......it's just the unknown, I guess. Thanks for the reply!...
  12. Took my NCLEX-RN today.........

    Our class took a ATI predictor test. It gave us the "probable pass rate" for the first time taking the NCLEX. It was basically a med-surg 150 q
  13. Took my NCLEX-RN today.........

    I go to take mine tomorrow. Was it as bad as most of us anticipate? What did any of you use for reviews? Did you happen to take and predictor

  15. 1st year nursing student

    I think this will make you a better student. You will cross paths with some students who don't care, and just want to get through the day as quick as possible. I graduate in May, and I have had many...
  16. Help with goal for Hopelessness or Anxiety careplan.

    Great ideas!!! I can't do knowledge deficit now because we have to do a concept map c that, and our instructor has to be present to witness the teaching in process. I wasn't going to do my paperwork...
  17. Help with goal for Hopelessness or Anxiety careplan.

    Valerie Salva Thanks for your post! I was in the field of hopelessness being "Well, I guess I can't do anything about it now, it's out of my hands". Thanks for the
  18. Help with goal for Hopelessness or Anxiety careplan.

    I agree with you, but our goals have to be measurable and time specific. I don't know how my instructors can measure these. Ex for a pt c pain of 6/10, my goal would be Pt will express pain of 5 or...
  19. Pt admitted to unit c T-101.8, cough, and pain rated 7/10. Which med would the nurse anticipate giving first? a) antihistamine b) antibiotic c) Tylenol d) Codeine I can't remember which...
  20. Test question, just wanted your thoughts

    i love your replies. the way you explain the answer helps so much. you really should look into instruction! i know a lot of nsg students who would love an instructor who was a fragment of you!...
  21. Test question, just wanted your thoughts

    you made that seem so effortless!!! LOL It really got me...I just knew it was codeine. I guess I was thinking the overuse of antibiotics, and that deferred me from that choice.
  22. Test question, just wanted your thoughts

    That was my exact way of thinking. It was wrong though!!! I am still upset about it. We are taught Maslow in Fundamentals, following his theory, shouldn't we address pain? Anyway, I chose codeine,...
  23. Nursing Math 109

    We worked through the whole book. I am pretty good in math, and helped quite a few in my class grasp the concepts. I still have the book, 4th edition. Let me know what you are having trouble with,...
  24. Hi all, just wondering if any of you were having the same problems we are in our program. We are 2nd semester, and have already lost 14. Not all were failing, but most were on the verge and didn't...
  25. Hi guys...I just wondered if any of you had an idea of a good "starter" stethoscope. I am looking at Littmann's, but don't know which type will serve me best for the least amount of $. I don't mind...
