  1. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    wannabHishands replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am not sure that the lady at the center was right... if you do the "trick" before it says delivery successful, it will give you the same message you've always gotten. It's after the delivery...

  2. kaplan q trainers

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

    Did you take the trainers 1-3 before the class, like they recommend? If so, then after the class, you take the trainers 5 -7, and they should be better (don't remember where 4 fits in, sorry)... Or...

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

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

    This JUST came up for me, too, on the question trainer for Kaplan! We learned contact +mask= droplet, and droplet + N95= airborne... so I was shocked that kaplan says only mask for droplet. Ick!...

  4. Anyone Up For Random FACT THROWING??

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

    2. TB skin test is positive in a non-immunocompromised pt if 10 or above (per Kaplan), unless HIV, then 5mm 4. Can you clarify? Respiratory opposite

  5. nclex

    wannabHishands replied to bleblanc123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You mentioned that you have used a tutor in the past, have you taken a statistically-proven class, like Hurst or Kaplan? Tutors can be great, but chances are good that each one really only knows how...

  6. Infection Control Mnemonics

    wannabHishands replied to december2905's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And don't forget... according to the CDC (and Kaplan, as I found out on my question trainer, and NCLEX, apparently), SARS is now Airborne in many situations, so now My Stupid Chicken Has

  7. In need of motivation

    wannabHishands replied to aida0505's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The money was a HUGE motivator for me... when I added up how much I can be making as a nurse ($300 A DAY), it dawned on me... passing NCLEX is good... Good luck finding whatever motivates you!...

  8. ARGH! More on the Sickle Cell Crisis Controversy

    wannabHishands posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just took Kaplan Question Trainer 4... thought I had the Sickle Cell Crisis figured out: hydration for prevention, oxygen for crisis. Wrong. The patient was admitted to labor and delivery, even, so...

  9. ARGH! More on the Sickle Cell Crisis Controversy

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

    Aha! I like these answers, thank

  10. wondering about late decels

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

    Are you sure it's change the position for LATE decels? I thought for placental insufficiency (late decels), the baby is not tolerating contractions well, so you administer oxygen first. I do know for...

  11. NCLEX Mistaken Identity

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

    Wow, I can only think that other girl must have been freaked out if she was already taking the test! Good

  12. kaplan really messes with my head this close to boards! anyone else agree!!

    wannabHishands replied to Amy10BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I will tell you how I decided to tackle this very same problem. You may or may not agree, of course... Whether or not I am doing fabulous on the other questions (Saunders, Exam Cram, NCLEX...

  13. How do/did you keep from losing your mind?

    wannabHishands replied to Work in Progress's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh my goodness, did you really PVT that many times? You crack me up. Not that I won't, because I likely will, but thanks for the smile, and good

  14. NCLEX/Needing to talk it out

    wannabHishands replied to Lisa1980's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lisa, giving thought to where your biggest obstacles were is a SUPER step in the whole retest process. Good for you, it seems like so many people just chalk it up to, "The test sucked and I have no...

  15. Zofran and SSRI'S

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

    I doubt it... one is a receptor antagonist, and the other blocks them from being taken up. They might not work as well together, but when I search in the online interaction lookup, I find nothing...

  16. FAILED AROUND 250'S

    wannabHishands replied to lisa.4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While I was annoyed while taking the class as well, I am SOOOOOO glad I did. All of the online questions and tests that come with it are very useful, as well. Good luck, hopefully your official...

  17. NCLEX Predictor exams

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

    We took the Elsevier, and the results come from HESI, so I wonder if it's the HESI everyone talks about. I don't know how reliable they are anyway, I got in the top 98.98th percentile nationally, but...

  18. My Frustration w/ Kaplan

    wannabHishands replied to Nursey103's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Now I'm curious to know the question... no African American woman I know could wash her hair every three days with shampoo... I think it'd be crazy dry, wouldn't it? What was the

  19. Select all that apply.

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

    Someone orienting with me today told me that the questions are weighted, even the SATA, so you could get partial credit if you found some of the answers, which is not at all what I was under the...

  20. Near Passing Standard...

    wannabHishands replied to Lisa1980's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Perhaps you focused too much on specific FACTS? Did you take much time on strategies for answering the questions themselves? Just a thought, because I knew all kinds of content and was still getting...

  21. Oh boy, I'm going to lose it!! NCLEX in 3 weeks!!

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

    I have exactly three weeks til D-Day, too... if you haven't studied, perhaps take a look at a harder test, like Kaplan's diagnostic or the test that comes with their smaller book (not the course one,...

  22. Struggling.....Should I do Kaplan or Hurst?

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

    I shelled out the big money for Kaplan... and so far, I am glad I did. Yes, I am also studying content on the side, but since taking the online class, my scores improved dramatically on ALL of my...

  23. Is there a 'trick' to the prioritizing questions and delegation questions?

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

    Aren't Education and Teach the same

  24. I need a new study plan!

    wannabHishands replied to Lisa1980's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I might offer advice, I'd say put Saunders away... it just doesn't come close to NCLEX. If you used it to study, you probably have mastered all of the content it can offer you, so it's time to...

  25. Quick dumb question about ABC's

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

    I would have to say, given only those options, you pick the one that makes sense, even if it's not A... fluids, or blood. If the heart runs dry, you die. Period. Sure, your blood will be better...
