    What I've learned while studying for NCLEX

    Always_Learning replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I love those questions: "Which patient would you assign to an unlicensed assistive personnel?" And I'm like, "Uhhhhh....I wouldn't assign them any patient by themselves?" But I get the gist of the...

    Checking in here...took my test yesterday and even though I felt AWFUL about it, I got the good pop-up 2 and 1/2 hrs. later. Today, even before the PearsonVue "quick results" were available, my name...

    Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Always_Learning replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PearsonVue trick worked for me! I got the good pop-up yesterday about 2 and 1/2 hrs. after my test, and today (even before PearsonVue had "quick results" up), my BON posted my license number!!!...

    What I've learned while studying for NCLEX

    Always_Learning replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh yeah, I totally agree with some sort of standardized requirement for practice. I just get frustrated with some of these "review materials" that are so incredibly outlandish and hard that they only...

    What I've learned while studying for NCLEX

    Always_Learning replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, F&E was supposed to be first. My thinking was that ammonia could lead to hepatic encephalopathy (like your guy), but they wanted electrolytes first. Oh

    What I've learned while studying for NCLEX

    Always_Learning replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I picked ammonia because I thought it was more pertinent to the liver issue. They said that was wrong (though, of course, there was no good

    Always_Learning replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ughh...I feel your pain. I just finished a question and spouted every expletive I know when I read the ridiculous rationale. The question was about a client with liver cancer and decreased LOC. Then...

    Anyone experience this

    Always_Learning replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Haha...homeostasis, to me, means "it's all good" - LOL! I wouldn't worry too much. I am a total nerd and love pathophysiology; I'm a bookworm. I have a great friend who is pretty much the opposite;...

    Always_Learning posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Project "Ask-A-Student" Ok, so here's the deal...when I was a pre-nursing student, I stalked allnurses.com religiously and soaked up all the information I could about nursing school. Then, when I...

    Always_Learning replied to Always_Learning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be honest; I generally skim the asigned text readings unless they tell us to really concentrate on something. The material that is given in class is typically enough to convey the necessary...

    Always_Learning replied to Always_Learning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I can't say you will use that cellular level stuff unless you're a microbiologist. When you're studying, do pay attention to how organs and organ systems work together. Also, if you have a good...

    Always_Learning replied to Always_Learning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't have an interview, but we did have to write an essay. "Why you want to be a nurse" and that sort of thing. I think the best policy is to be honest...and if they throw you a HUGE curveball,...

    Always_Learning replied to Always_Learning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, I used to see all the posts about the lack of nursing jobs and think, "Gee, I don't really see that problem in my area." As graduation nears, though, it seems I am seeing less and less when...

    Always_Learning replied to Always_Learning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, when I started nursing school, I bought these ultra-supportive, super-practical, majorly "nursey" (and expensive) "gettin'-down-to-business" shoes. I got over that after a few semesters. Now I...

    you're very welcome :) for care plans, i only ever used one book: "handbook of nursing diagnosis" by carpenito-moyet. it takes a little while to get used to, but it lists sample interventions that can...

    Loneliness Interventions?

    Always_Learning replied to FairyPopsicle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I absolutely think that would be a fine intervention, because you are writing a care plan based on what you would do if you were the nurse caring for that patient. Also, it may definitely be possible...

    Loneliness Interventions?

    Always_Learning replied to FairyPopsicle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, just another thought; your professor may have underlined that part because helping keep her busy is not necessarily addressing the problem of loneliness. You can be busy and still feel lonely. I...
