    Mask allergy??

    ducky2000 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think I might be allergic to my mask or having some sort of reaction to it. My hospital has a new supply of surgical masks and every time I put it on I start hacking. I can taste a chemical when I...

    NCLEX 2019 UWORLD/NCSBN

    ducky2000 replied to Nurseh2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The study material works for differently for everyone. For me, I wouldn't have passed NCLEX the second time around if it was not for Uworld . The first time I used ATI and did bombed it. I think...

    ducky2000 replied to Angelique C's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Usually people who have near passing in all topics have the basic content down but may need help with how to answer nclex type questions. Review content (doest hurt) but I'd focus on practicing...

    Failed NCLEX due to anxiety! Need new review course!!

    ducky2000 replied to Yogsdaleo,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What you described was how I felt the first time I took the test. At times the whole screen would get blurry. I initially wanted to see an MD to help with my anxiety, but didn't have health insurance...

    Oxygenation vs Circulation vs Cardiac

    ducky2000 replied to teresapaz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's kind of hard to answer the question since they all are intertwined with each other. Are you talking about ABC priority questions? Although, it's helpful to know the symptoms and disease process,...

    Getting discouraged..

    ducky2000 replied to kmek30's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the previous poster. The test caters to your own strengths and weaknesses. Also, I found that the tests in school greatly differed on the nclex. Cheers for UWORLD. It's a great tool for...

    For those who did not know, IL is doing away with paper license.

    ducky2000 posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    Finally got my name posted on the IDFPR website. YAY! Also, got the email that they will not send out paper licenses (I was always checking the mail box LOL). I'm sort of sad and wanted to keep it as...

    TEAS is my Weakness

    ducky2000 replied to nursing96student's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm not the best test taker, but did well on it. Practice the ATI TEAS book and memorize the conversion table (you can get it at the ATI testing website or amazon). The test questions in the book...

    Congrats!! WOOT!!

    Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

    ducky2000 replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the poster who said it's different for many people. For me, I mostly used Uworld because I could use it on my phone (came in handy during break time at work). I've read that others just...

    ducky2000 replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Will hurst, UWorld and Lacharity be enough to pass the 2nd time? I believe so. Try them out and see if it works for you. Everyone is different. I also used other sources, as well as the things used...

    Failed Nclex RN First Attempt 75 questions

    ducky2000 replied to arianiy12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the other posters about treating NCLEX studying like your job. Even on of my co-workers, a nurse, was surprised that I was working long hours as a CNA (got to pay the rent). She said not...

    U world

    ducky2000 replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I found many U world questions were hard and did poorly at first. My scores got better towards the end. Don't focus on scores but on understanding the rationals and redo any of the wrong ones. Good...

    ducky2000 replied to mztrayblue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    97% is an great score and I know alot of people who pass with 90% pass NCLEX. However, I got a 92% chance of passing and yet I didn't pass the first time. I'm not saying that ATI isn't accurate, but...

    Question for nurses who passed NCLEX using Saunders!

    ducky2000 replied to Learz13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunders is good for content, but I would also do other questions from other sources. I found many of the Saunders questions very basic level (was getting 70-80s). This sort of gave me a false sense...

    I'm also in the same position. I signed on to EXCELL because a lot of my co-workers' highly suggested it. I didn't do it the first time because of the price, but I sort of wished I did (I mainly...
