greetings... This morning I took my NCLEX-RN.... and after trying the PEARSON VUE TRICK... i got the GOOD POPUP.... Just wanted to share my own NCLEX experience... Well for starters, I felt at a disadvantage the entire time since only 39% of interna...

update.... i'm now working for a BIG hospital in Texas. WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK THAT DREAMS DO COME TRUE and my wife JUST passed her NCLEX-RN on Thursday!!!!!

So if a patient has a plasma level of 2.0 we should withhold the medication??? I figured if the therapeutic level is 0.5 to 2.0, then 2.0 is still therapeutic, especially since it's a maintenance dose. If the dose is withheld, wouldn't the level dr...

The road to getting here wasn't easy....... but if it were to be easy... it wouldn't be worth it!!! it feels good... i still can't sleep

i'm here in the phlilippines.... i havent taken the NLE, but from what I hear, it's much harder... mainly because there are already 250,000 unemployed RNs, so the BON here feels like they should make the exam extremely difficult. It's also unpredic...

yep, i'm filipino... and super stressed....... about 2 weeks away... and i'm contemplating on enrolling at Rachell Allen for final coaching... my mind is all over the place

my exam is in a couple of weeks... 18 days, 19 hours, 16 minutes, and counting

I FORGOT THAT'S IN MY BOOK, LOL. THANKS!!! i kinda made my own timeline..... but I SHALL OPEN THAT BOOK and modify my schedule. :)

"far away" ahhahahaha, i feel like i'm running out of time.

i do about 30-50 pharma questions a day, in sets of 10 from Saunders software... seems to be really helping... hope it manifests in 3 weeks

i'm taking it in 19 days, 20 hours, 3 minutes and counting

now i pray for a Dig question.... BRING IT ON!! hahaha

19 days, 20 hours, 9 minutes and counting

thanks for the replies... hopefully I get something like this on my actual NCLEX so I can kick NCLEXs @SS!!

but if you withhold it, is there a possibility that it would fall below the therapeutic range? it's a maintenance dose... so shouldn't it 'maintain' the level at 2.0 given the schedule and half-life?

if you are hitting 75% or higher, then you don't have much to worry about... but do take notes about topics you missed and read about them... for example, if the question you missed was about DIC, then make sure you read about DIC.. if you had to gue...

So far, the best in my opinion is to use Saunders questions (from the CD) and do 100 from each category as a pretest... then read your about your 3 lowest scores... then take a post test about those topics... then do 100 items from each category, (sa...

also, the fact that it does emphasize that it's locked... i think it's a signal word to remember the growth/dev or a 2 y.o. ... also "second-story"

Well a water heater isn't something that can be knocked off the stove as some may imagine.... if you google water heater... it's a big appliance that heats water and is padded and usually isn't very warm to touch at all. Furthermore, 212 degrees F i...

the NCLEX is theory-based.... not real-world experience. "ivory tower nursing"

so are any people in Manila reviewing now? (( i desperately need someone to brainstorm with. none of my batchmates are taking any exams... so I'm stressed and can't talk with anyone about topics. (only myself, hahahaha)

looks like we won't be taking the exam that far apart... let me know how everything pans out... mine is in Feb also

64-bit ... please see nursing review made simple.

I just wanted to share a couple of things that I've been doing, to hopefully help some of those taking this exam who are Self-Reviewing Make Google Calendar your best friend. create a schedule that is realistic and stick to it using Google Calendar ...

:) i don't really have a choice but to pass.. so i have to exhaust every effort... considering I didn't go to the BEST of schools... i have to over-compensate with better review habits. besides, i'm not getting any younger... 26 days and 18 hours ...
