just got the result today...i passed the nclex-rn!!!!., thanks to random fact throwing...it's really helpful.... advice to others who will take their exam soon: - study fluids and electrolytes: the symptoms of high and low level ---- usually in SATA - hypo/hyper: thyroidism, aldosteronism, parathyroidism --- usually in SATA - prioritization, delegation - airborne, droplet and contact precautions - study pictures of rashes - know conversion and computations - know what is immediate and essential to the care of the client (it depends on the situation) - study ecg readings ( just know that warfarin is given to patients with afib) - breath sounds (normal/adventitious) -- know the intervention will be given for each - heart sounds - exetemibe (Zetia) - anti-lipid, lowers cholesterol level ----- hope these helps :))

i just took my exam this afternoon.... got cut off around 179 or 180 not sure....i check pearsonvue but it said delivery successful, don't know to do the trick...no one will know the result right?.,i just hope i'll pass this time...

im going to take my 2nd try in nclex-rn next month...i just like everyone here if the question gets harder and complicated on the second time?.,i just really want to pass....i know i still have more than a month left but im really worried now about that and not passing it again...i know im studying but i still get nervous feeling that i wont make it....i try to teach myself that i can do it....can someone here give me some advice or words of encouragement, i'll appreciate it more than you'll ever know...thanks:heartbeat:D

i just rescheduled my exam, i think im not that prepared yet so...focus,focus...need more knowledge and infos., please include me in your prayers....i'm going to include all of you in mine...im doing this to pass my exams this 2nd time...:crying2:

congrats on passing!!! i just like to know if you dont mind, is this the first time you take the nclex-rn exam.... because i'll be taking my 2nd try at the end of the month...can you tell me what type of questions they give you.... honestly im really really nervous right now, i dont know if all the things i studied is good enough or if i know is enough...thanks

i still got the same answers as the other readers here but, it's quite differ in the process of solving it, try to look to what i did if which is easier for you guys to remember and understand: 1. dosage prescribed x q ( quantity) = x stock available ----- 60 meq x 20 ml = 30 ml 30 meq 2. to get the number of hours i did this: 60 meq = 24 hrs. 2.5 meq/hr ------ i cancelled out the "meq" 60 meq = prescribed amount of kcl to add in the solution 2.5 meq/ hour = prescribed rate then, 1000 ml (solution) = 41.67 or 42 ml/hr 24 hours 3. to get the gtts/min, i did this: 1000 ml x 60 gtts/ml = 41.67 or 42 gtts/min 1440 min 24 hours = 1440 minutes drop factor = 60 gtts/ml solution = 1000 ml i hope this will help anyone...

i want to quote this one, correct me if im wrong.... in order to get 16.8 in this equation is: 7000 mcg / 50 kg = 140 mcg/kg * 60 mins = 8400 mcg/kg/min (the solving should stop here because this is what the question is looking for, right? [mcg/kg/min]) but then i saw some replies to this post that they still divide 8400 mcg/kg/min by 500 ml (ns solution) = 16.8 mcg/kg/min/ml ????(what for???) ---- isn't this a bit confusing?....coz if you take note the measurements "mcg,kg,min,ml" the final answer shouldn't be 16.8... then i try solving this problem in my own way.....still correct me if im wrong... 7mg = 7000 mcg 110 lb. = 50 kg 1 hr. = 60 mins. thus, 7000 mcg / 50 kg = 140 mcg/kg ---- then we're now looking for how much mcg/kg we need "per" minute, right? so this is what i did: for me, when i saw the word "per" it means "to divide" since there is 6o minutes in an hour ------ 140 mcg/kg divided by 60 min. = 2.33 mcg/kg/min to check if my answer is right, i did this: 2.33 * 60 = 139.8 rounding it off to the nearest whole number it would be 140. [color=cyan]this is just what i thought i'm not claiming i'm right....cause it's been confusing me,just sharing...thanks :redbeathe
