  1. I want to vomit - 85 ?'s on NCLEX-PN

    wannabHishands replied to nossawja's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just a question... on the NCLEX-RN, when delegating to LPNs and UAs, we are not to give LPNs anything that requires teaching... so WHY would you have to even know what to teach? What's up with that?...

  2. quick PPE question. I have been hearing some debates starting about this.

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    UV rays kill TB... just a fun little fact. This is why they put TB patients in sunrooms, or sanitoriums, (or perhaps why they worked, even if they didn't start it that way on purpose). UV rays kill...

  3. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    wannabHishands replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Calcium Gluconate should be at the bedside after thyroidectomy as well,

  4. quick PPE question. I have been hearing some debates starting about this.

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sorry... my fingers got a little crazy... I meant airborne and contact. Hee, good

  5. Very depressed and discouraged....,need help

    wannabHishands replied to mystic33's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would question Marcos9999 on his timing theory... I do not know where he got this information, he even states that he doesn't know but thinks that there must be an algorithm used on NCLEX about how...

  6. quick PPE question. I have been hearing some debates starting about this.

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At our hospital, droplet means mask. Period. You have to inhale the bacteria/virus to be infected. Once the droplets are atttached to whatever they fell on, you won't inhale them. That makes sense...

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

    wannabHishands replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My friend Shawn took the NCLEX-RN on Friday. We did the PVT over the phone, and it was right! He got his quick results passing report yesterday! (now, if it'll only be the same results for me one...

  8. repeat pass rate lower than first time test takers

    wannabHishands replied to Shondacat517's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Way to go, tmarti! I am from a BSN program, too, and am worried about how much I forgot already. I think you and Marcos are probably right on all accounts: 1. "at risk" population 2. nerves! 3....

  9. meds you've never heard of?

    wannabHishands replied to mustardseed's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    yuck. Got through part one of the lecture. I have to admit, it makes a lot more sense now, but ask me tomorrow how much I actually remember... I did take notes, but man, my brain is FULL! Just 9 more...

  10. meds you've never heard of?

    wannabHishands replied to mustardseed's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's so hard to know what to really do... I am going to try to watch the online Kaplan lecture on meds tonight. Not sure I can get through it, but going to give it a

  11. NCLEX 3500: Study software for NCLEX-RN

    wannabHishands replied to tgriffin888's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You know, the NCLEX 4000 is out, and it's only $50... and I bet you could sell it to someone else after you pass your test. $50? That's probably two hours' wages... do you really need to risk legal...

  12. Passed NCLEX, some tips

    wannabHishands replied to Rednights's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, sadly, the book with CD is not the one you get with the live review... the course book is filled with outlines of content material in addition to the "decision tree" and test-taking strategies....

  13. July 2010 nclex rn study group

    wannabHishands replied to ikedinachi1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Seriously, I think I've spent more time studying in this last month than during the entire FOUR YEARS of school (not more than the time I spent writing papers, however ). Can't wait until the 6th....

  14. July 2010 nclex rn study group

    wannabHishands replied to ikedinachi1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Precious2Him, I know... no one can afford Kaplan! My father paid for it, and I'll pay him back out of my first check from work (it comes in 6 days! Yay!). I said that there was no way I'd take a...

  15. wondering about late decels

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I see what you are saying... I totally think this is why we all love to hate NCLEX... we all know what you'd do in real life... put on the O2, turn her on the left side, and slow the pit or stop it if...

  16. Questions vs. Content Review

    wannabHishands replied to erinp88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Awwww, crap! :) They always said the opposite before! So much for having a chance when you've never seen that topic before... I still don't think I'd use Saunders solely... grab a book with some...

  17. failed test again

    wannabHishands replied to 297echoes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't taken it yet, I will in eleven days, so I have no idea what's REALLY on the test... for what it's worth, I am taking Kaplan because I had a really hard time understanding WTH the practice...

  18. wondering about late decels

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know that they say never to study with this philosophy, but I just hope I don't get one of these on the test... that would make it so much easier!

  19. quick PPE question. I have been hearing some debates starting about this.

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To the droplet question... my director had a great idea today... perhaps the drops have to be inhaled to be transmitted? Ergo, no gown needed. Duh. Now, I think I remember

  20. Diagnostic exam, where to get?

    wannabHishands replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds like you are on the right path... finding your weaknesses IS how you will pass this beast. Me, I read into everything, and soon I am making up my own scenarios for each question. Yes, I know...

  21. Practice exams....what do the scores mean??

    wannabHishands replied to Taryn963's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with Redknights. For some other companies, you could be getting in the 90s to compare to a 68ish in Kaplan. There is a huge difference, so don't be complacent with a 68 if it's in a book that...

  22. wondering about late decels

    wannabHishands replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am almost completely totally positive about this... I have had this question in more than one source. IF you are administering pit, and the baby is having late decels, you STOP THE PIT, then...

  23. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    wannabHishands replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's easier for me just to think: is it the bicarb, or the CO2 that's wrong? If it's bicarb, it's metabolic, if it's CO2, then it's respiratory. But for those who have a hard time with this one,...

  24. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

    wannabHishands replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Meantobenurse, I believe that if the last question you had was above the passing level, application or analysis, iow, you passed, whether or not you got it right. On the other hand, if it was a...

  25. Really nervous about taking NCLEX...Help!!!

    wannabHishands replied to Brownie3085's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that some SATA are lower-level questions, though... it depends on the actual question. I don't think you can guess how you are doing based on the SATA, because I've seen it both ways, people...
