cardiospec

I didn't know where to post this question so here I go ........Do the symptoms of Addisons Disease include a buffalo hump???

I just also read a thread on here from someone that took it alot of times and when she failed it the screen was always gray and when she finally passed it the screen was blue...?????

Oh I can't believe it. Must be something going on, cause I took boards this morning and it shut off for me at 85 too !! I have never yet heard of so many people having this number that it shut off at. Does anyone know any people that it has shut off at 85 recently and they passed?

I have 2 interviews on Tuesday and have not interviewed yet as a nurse. Any suggestions as to what to brush up on? I have also heard that during the interview they might ask you questions about patient scenerios and what you would do. :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

Can someone please tell me what the labs would be for the following in a patient with Acute Respiratory Failure? Creatinine BUN Potassium

I think I might purchase it then, I have heard the questions are really short. I looked on Amazon and can purchase one for a pretty low price as it doesn't have to be in perfect shape as long as I have the cd.

How much is that Kaplan QBank and where can I buy it? I have ATI and an online instructor, and have the Kaplan Question Trainer ,, I also have the NCLEX 4000 disc, so I have an abundance of materials. I have studied all thru school on questions so I really don't know how much more prepared I could be. It is difficult tho that after I have studied so much to still only score in the 50's and 60's on most of the tests and I think that is why I am still feeling like I am maybe not prepared enough ?????

I know that nutrition is important for the brain, and what suggestions do you have to eat the morning of the test. Almonds, etc..?? or perhaps the week or two before the test to make sure I am in top shape ? :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

First of all you need to find someway to reduce your anxiety. I have found that the more you tell yourself things the more they come to pass. Speak good things to yourself and tell yourself that you have studied, and prepared and are going to pass the exam ... tell yourself that you are confident. the brain is a powerful thing and can talk you into about anything.:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeatCan someone please tell me how good of an indicator the Kaplan tests are for passing the boards, specifically the program of Kaplan Question Trainer that has like 7-8 tests?

Hey Rex I am new here and haven't explored how to PM yet but would like to talk to you cuz I am taking the boards in a couple of weeks and could use some pointers

Which Kaplan are you talking about, is it a book or disc, cause I have both

1. A positive Kernig's Sign is a manifestation of meningeal irritation 2. A serum creatinine above1.4 mg/dl indicates renal failure 3. Epioglottis develops acutely and emergently 4. Bells Palsy is Cranial Nerve VII 5. Bridiging Technique ,which I had never heard of is a type os positioning of pillows used to relieve pressure on bony prominences.:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

Oh and also I see that this thread was started because of prayer and I am asking all to please pray for me as I take boards in a few weeks.:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

I am prepping for boards as we speak. I have done millions of questions from alot of different test banks. I just took the first test from the Kaplan trainer and got a 55% so not too bad I guess. I have been using ATI alot also. Do you think the Kaplan trainer is a good indicator of passing boards?
