  1. I am an RN - MS student in a Nurse Admin Leadership Track. For my practicum, I will be helping the coordinators of a nurse residency program design and develop - hopefully - a robust facilitator...
  2. Perhaps a reason for my interest is that my choice of focus would have been education...if it was being offered. So I settled for administration as this was an area where I have had an abundance of...
  3. I had included an actual practice question (Mosby) about medication dosage here but realized it could be construed as violating copyright laws, so I am going to try to ask my question without...

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

    I know - I also got all 265 questions, left convinced I have failed, but got the good one. It just seems impossible that I could have passed. I'm thinking I'll be the first with the good pop-up who...

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

    I think I will be the same, "good" popup or not, until I receive the official notification. It seems no matter how much studying I do, how many questions I answer, there is SO much I still don't know,...

    Let us know how it goes. I have a week to go and I am really
  12. Which book is correct?

    So Kaplan NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice, and Review 2010-2011 says that pain is considered a psvchosocial problem in the NCLEX-RN, so you should eliminate that option in a question that has both...
  13. Which book is correct?

    Another difference I noticed between these two books was that I understand Lippincott to say that you can't choose an option that needs a physician's order. Kaplan says to assume that there has been a...
  14. Which book is correct?

    Why would pain be seen as a psychosocial issue, though? That doesn't make sense to me. I would think that pain is extremely physiological, and if someone is in pain, short of the abc's, the rest could...
  15. Which book is correct?

    Hmmm, that makes sense!
  16. nclex made incredibly easy

    What else did you use? I borrowed the Kaplan strategies book from the local community college library and am partway through it for the second time. I also bought the Lippincott "Made Incredibly Easy"...

  20. Volunteering in Africa

    I was there centuries ago - graduated in 1982. Yes, I found out they had closed the place down when I tried to trace my transcripts. WHAT a palaver! It took about 18 months to get all my paperwork...
  21. Thanks for your response. Sorry, it was hard to explain without including the actual question. I agree that if I was unsure, I would question - in real life. However, that doesn't help with NCLEX-RN...
  22. Volunteering in Africa

    Hi - from a fellow South African... RN-trained at Carinus and then went to England to do midwifery. Now trying to get certified in the US... what

  25. Pass NCLEX recently without Kaplan?

    how long after taking the exam do you know if you passed or not? just found the answer, so don't bother responding to that. I am a foreign-trained RN but have been out of nursing for centuries and am...
