Am I allowed to leave pneumonics my friend shared with me? A good way to remember hypoglycemia vs hyperglycemia signs and symptoms...remember TWITCHINGS for hypoglycemia. Stands for tremors, weakness, irritable, tachycardia, cool skin, hunger bec he'...

Hello Vebert1020, I just wanted to ask how things went. What helped you the most. What steps did you take?

Good info. thanks.

Thanks to those posting encouraging words. That's what this site is for. I need some of that. I am a foreign graduate and was not prepared to take the nclex. I didn't know that the questions are trick questions and that there are facilities here that...

I was just wondering why no one mentions using Lippincott's Q & A Review book and CD. I have that one and it has over 5800 questions and answers and has 6 practice exams. Does anyone have experience with Lippincott? Also, shopaholic42488, did you...

1. If mishap occured like patient fell, write up an incident report and NEVER chart in the medical records that an incident report was filed. 2. If px died and was found on drivers license to be an organ donor, still have to get permission from next...

Is it only the NCLEX RN that is getting harder or is the NCLEX PN also getting harder? Just curious.

That does help John. But I have one question. Do you know if there is a deadline to take the exam after you get approval? Like do we have to take it right away or within 30 days or whatever? Does anyone know?

so MRSA in sputum is droplet precautions, if they are coughing...it's airborne precautions. What about contact? I saw the infection control mnemonics on this site (very helpful to memorize) and they have multiresistant drug organisms (like MRSA) u...

I learned in the Kaplan book that the nclex pn is a test of minimum competency to determine if you are able to practice safe and effective nsg care and to always think safety when selecting correct answers. During your test you should eliminate answ...

One person said that there are always 2 really bad answers and 2 good answers in each question. if you think about each questions this way, it should be easier for you to eliminate the really bad answers. for example if the question is about kosher d...

Hi Scherie, I listened to alot of that med-surg lecture link you sent (with Grace Lim as the speaker) on page 15 of this thread. Thanks for sharing that. It was so very informative esp for understanding the fluid and electrolytes. i'm so glad I to...

smn2009, Cool, thanks. I'm taking advantage of it right now. Mia

smn2009, Thanks for the info. I went on the website following your instructions and saw some good questions but I also exptected to see the correct answers and the rationales but saw neither on the website. Really, I tried and couldn't find it.

Why is that Suzanne's plan no longer available. Sounds like it helped a lot of test-takers so what happened? Go to your local library. Istead of buying those Saunders, Kaplan, etc nclex-pn review books with CD's for 50 bucks or so, you can rent i...

scherie, thanks for the link. I checked it out. I plan to listen to a lot of that. It'll take weeks or even months. But I could use all the help I can get. congrats to windowxp.

Scherie, I am praying you passed. But if not, just take it again. We can only do better the next time. Right? But yeah, I hope you did it. Thanks for the info. I hate those SATA questions. I'd probably get all 10 wrong and that would cost me that pa...

I took the acid based imbalances quiz and scored 10/10. But to be honest, I was guessing on a few and surprised myself I got it right. If only I can do this well on the actual nclex exam.

When taking the NCLEX-PN, you can try elimination technique in therapeutic communication questions. 1)ELIMINATE ASKING WHY choices bec you learned in nursing that they make the patient go on the defensive 2) ELIMINATE "DON'T WORRY" choices bec it's f...

I guess the best way to do this is for everyone to just share little pieces of random information. That's helpful. Here are some I've jotted down in my notes. Excessive or repeated vomiting causes hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Resting armpits on ...

Congrats to all those that passed. I'm so happy for you and hope to be there one day. I am studying right now for lpn exam but didn't mail my application yet bec I am a foreigner and have papers that need to get sent back. But I'm studying the boo...

thanks much. I'll check it out. I think wisconsin and texas have no time limit between when you graduate and when you take the nclex. if anyone knows any different, pls advise. thanks again.

I am way worse off. It's been 17 years and I don't know if they'll allow it but I'm studying for the lpn now and hope they let me take it. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
