Ive been trolling haha nice word huh, lurking these threads here in the forum about for tips and such. Took the board today 08/18/10 and took me almost 3hrs to stop @ 75. I felt I really slow answering the questions.. During my practice (I did a lot of Kaplan, saunders, tried the LA Charity Book), I would be answering quick. Geez man! I dont know what was happening then I clicked next then bam! Blue screen of death! Well Joy in this case cause I was relieved it was over but then the anguish because I dont know if I passed or not... Bought me some halo halo (for all you Filipinos out there! Yeahh boi!!) then went home and chilled. Told myself not to do the online trick but eventually I did after some persuasion from my girlfriend and friends. And to my big relief... GOOD POPUP!!!!!!!! YES! haha.

Had a question like this in n3500. SARS is considered both contact and airborne. Its a respiratory infx sooo. I just think of it as sneezing, first all the good stuff flies then lands (correct me if im wrong) GOOD **** BTW! Taking the nclex in 3weeks!

So a lot of pages have gone but not going to go through each one. To answer the topic.. Cover the chest hair.

From my school, students had to cover up. As for my personal belief, I'd like to have the nurse taking care of me presentable as a mentor. True, tattoos, could be another way to express one's self but thinking as a nurse's point of view it is about your patient and what they would think of you years to come.

Depends on the situation but would normally, and always, go with directly to the skin.

No money for kaplan so I resorted to SAunders and NCSBN. We'll see on august..

Im primarily using Saunders and NCSBN for supplemental. I think questions wise, I would go with Saunders because of the good rationales and extent they go into explaining. Kaplan? I heard alot and just didnt have the money for it. A lot of my peers are using it and seems to work. We'll see.

Very inspiring story *sniff* =)

CONGRATS! I read the whole thread and man.. I am to take my boards in about 3 1/2 weeks from now and Ive been just studying from Saunders. Ive bought the NCSBN website but that's not working for me. Too broke for Kaplan so right now just Saunders Saunder Saunders. Hoping to pass. CONGRATS AGAIN =)

Much to my surprise...I really hate these questions. Hehe. But like one the replies here, I would do the best I could and answer them then focus on the next one.

Here the info straight from the CDC's report in their website: "The categories of Transmission-Based Precautions are unchanged from those in the 1996 guideline: Contact, Droplet, and Airborne. One important change is the recommendation to don the indicated personal protective equipment (gowns, gloves, mask) upon entry into the patient’s room for patients who are on Contact and/or Droplet Precautions since the nature of the interaction with the patient cannot be predicted with certainty and contaminated environmental surfaces are important sources for transmission of pathogens." Here's the link for the journal/report: http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/pdf/isolation/Isolation2007.pdf

Relax... take a deep breathe. Get some food, or even try to sleep. Relax =)

Classic signs and symptoms of abruptio placentae include lady partsl bleeding, abdominal pain, and uterine tenderness and contractions. Mild to severe uterine hypertonicity is present. Pain is mild to severe and localized over one region of the uterus, or diffuse over the uterus, with a boardlike abdomen. Painless lady partsl bleeding and a soft, nontender uterus in the second or third trimester of pregnancy are signs of placenta previa.
