“so i have taken the nclex pn twice and i have failed both times . at this point im so ready to give up, but i know that i cant. this is my dream, i have always wanted to be a nurse. i worked so hard throigh nursing school and made it out. i can not give up. i have studied kaplan and exam cram. i was wondering if anyone had any advice about what to study, and if you knew anything online that i could study ex: practice questions. preferably something that doesnt cost.” i know it’s frustrating but never give up on your dream if that’s what you really want. i don’t think the nclex determines if you’re a good or bad nurse it’s a big reading exam. for starter you probably need to examine your weak areas. i would highly recommend saunders 5th edition it’s about 25 to 30 bucks on amazon a small investment for what your preparing for and answer at least 100 question per week. you will know that you’re ready for the nclex if you reach scores of 85% or better in all areas. also this is advice that my instructor gave us. make sure that you practice on breaking each question down into these categories. 1. maslow hierachy of needs in this order physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. 2. bloom’s taxonomy for thinking in this order knowledge, comprehension, application analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, 3.the nursing process in this order assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. i’ll give an examples and if it’s not clear to you just pm me. which of the following is the most appropriate location for assessing the pulse of an infant who is less than 1 year old. radial carotid brachial popliteal ok, so before you answer the question break it down into each category. in maslow it would be physiological because it’s dealing with circulation, in bloom’s taxonomy it would be comprehension because you need to understand the circulation of an infant and where to locate it, and in the nursing process it would be assessing because you’re receiving data. so the answer would be 3. the brachial because the infant’s short fat neck makes palpation of the carotid artery difficult. the other areas are also difficult to palpate in an infant. if you can practice on breaking down your question this way i know you’ll have no problem in passing the boards. just believe in yourself and know whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve with persistence and hard work and lots of pray. it took me a while to learn how to break the question down this way however it’s doable. good luck to you and i know you can do it.

Just found out that I PASSED the Nclex today. I wasn't sure after taking the exam. However when I went home I did the pearsonvue trick, received the "good pop up" and felt a since of relief. I still was unsure and had to wait a week before receiving my official result. God is good. For those of you who doubt the trick don't because it works. Congrats for all those who passed and good luck to those who haven't. I'm finally a nurse now yah!!!:w00t:

I think you have to obtain a application from the California Department of Public Health Aide and Technician Certification.And on the application they have a box you check requesting reciprocity from another State. The number is (916) 327-2445.There address is California Department of Public Health Aide and Technician Certification 1615 Capitol Avenue, MS 3301 P.O. Box 997416 Sacramento, Ca 95899-7416. I would call to get more info.

Being a single mom can be very tuff and the nursing program is a job in itself. My motto is if you still breathing you can accomplish anything. Single mothers have succeeded before so it's possible for you do do it too. My advice on studying, what help me anyway was reading the NCLEX books and especially answering the questions on the CD, flashcards and study groups. I wish you well and know that you can do it, never give up your dream.

I think I may go with the anxiety dx, she did say she was nervous and didn't know what to expect. Sothis is what I came up with. What do you think? Anxiety r/t medical procedures AMB client feeling anxious.

She did exhibit some anxiety stating she was nervous and didn't know what to expect. So I think I might just go with that one. Maybe Anxiety r/t medical procedures AMB client report feeling anxious. How does that sound?

Thank you. I wasn't clear on the definition of pitocin and augmented induction, it makes sense to me now as well as the amniotomy being a procedure rather then a diagnosis. I still have an issue because I don't know what to formulate as a diagnosis now.I need to come up with an actual diagnosis and not a risk . The pt didn't manifest any s/s relating to the pitocin.She is a G1 P0 so I already have knowledge deficient r/t first pregnancy AMB primigravida. Also our clinical instructor doesn't want us to use pain. Deficient Fluid Volume R/T uterine rupture AEB. This sound good but she didn't suffer any blood lost.

Hello everyone, I'm writing because I desperately need help with my diagnosis. I had a post term (40 wks and one day) client who was induced with pitocin and ruptured after receiving it. I formulated the following diagnosis- Amniotomy r/t induction AMB observation of pitocin being administered . The reason why I'm having difficulties is because she was AROM due to the Pitocin does it matter if it wasn't in conjunction with the amniotic hook. Can't you induce with amniotic hook and/or the pitocin? Is this a appropriate diagnosis? Also I used this other diagnosis for my risk related to the administration of Pitocin. I was wondering if this diagnosis was appropriate for administrating Pitocin. Risk for impaired gas exchange r/t cord compression secondary to AROM and prolapsed of the umbilical cord. Please help. Thank you Cynthia
