NCLEX Getting Tougher
I took the nclex rn april 1, 2013...i can't say if they made it tougher or not, or if i was just less prepared but i would say the questions are more challenging because i spent a bit more time on some questions. As long as you know your concepts and critical thinking, you should do fine. Passed at 105 questions i think, cant even remember bec. Of a terrible headache.

NCLEX: April 2013, Raising Passing Standard?
Took the NCLEX-RN April 1, 2013 first time, i did 2 weeks of cramming. if it were up to me i wish i had more time and effort to have studied. I have to say, there is no way you can memorize so much for the exam. Most importantly You must know the concepts, principles, drug calg.+ formulas, strategies. There were more med. questions than i expected. The type of questions were to test one's critical thinking skills, application and analysis of concepts...anyway, i passed.thankfully. My advice, take time to study on management of care, medications. Best of luck to all!! P.s. changes to the exam is only for the nclex RN

What is the diff. btwn DKA and HHNS??
with type 1 DM no insulin is produced, but with type 2 THERE is STILL some functioning insulin ,or there may be some resistance to it.. therefore, there is no need for the body to metabolize fatty acids which turn to ketones which are acidic.. In HHNS, it develops slowly,over days, so blood sugar accumulates in the blood reaching a certain high level(that's why BS level is higher in HHNS). so the main difference is that there is little or no ketones involved in HHNS.
