yea im taking it tomorrow too!!!! how did you do on the nclex?!? i think i flunked it... i'm so nervous. but oh well, all i did for hte cnats test is study from the red book canadian rn exam prep guide.. the 3rd edition. i scored in the 80's for both tests but i'm nervous that its because these are easy questions. everyone says that the cnats is really psychosocial... by that do they mean therapeutic communication? how did you do on the nclex?! mine was hard but oh well.. it just seems that the questions in the book were a lot easier than the nclex ones. i hope questions like this are similar to what is on the actual test. what i didn't like about the book was that the cd that included in the book had the exact same test!!! i was hoping to see other questions... wasn't very useful and at the end, it doesn't even show you which ones you get wrong. but whatever... i hope the dosage questions aren't too bad as we can't use calculators and i just wanna know how they grade it!!! i have so many questions and i'm kinda nervous.. its not like i'm in school anymore.. this is the real world, for me. well hopefully we both pass... where are you taking it?! i'm in toronto. GOOD LUCK. someone please answer this post... hopefully i'll be relieved of most of my anxiety!! God bless, princessjay

bonjour my fellow canadians! ok well, i graduated in january and i'm planning on taking the CNATS next week. i also took the nclex but i don't know how well i did since it cut off at 75. arrgh. i'm frustrated. but oh well, someone please tell me what i need to do to study for this test. does anyone know any frequent medications that usually come up on the test?! i have the canadian rn exam prep guide (3rd edition) and a whole bunch of nclex material that i used to study for the nclex. is this enough?! i'm scared.. someone once told me that the CNATS is usually PSYCHOSOCIAL meaning scenario questions? like what the nurse would say to the patient?! i don't get it. i'm confused. i'm really anxious and i need prayer. PLEASE help! thanks to everyone and God bless...:uhoh21: :imbar :angryfire

lol. i feel your pain!! i swear, i think i prayed almost 30 times that day. i know how you feel about having a hard time justifying the answers. most of my questions dealt with emergency but they made it so difficult for me to justify. oh well... i do hate thinking about the possibility of failure. i know i got some right but i know i got some wrong. AHAHHHH we'll see. good luck to you though.

OK the nclex was hard. for me at least, i don't know how i did... i either did really bad or really well. i'm thinking negatively though. the computer shut off at 75. ok... in my head.. can someone tell me this.. if you had a patient who was postpartum after delivering a baby a few hours ago, through lady partsl delivery, who wanted to take a shower.. is there a time limit for this? do you a) let them take a shower whenever they want? b) tell them to wait 12 hours from the time they delivered? c) check their temp and then let them? and i forget D. but can someone please help me out?! ok please get back to me... i know i got some wrong on the test after thinking about it later. what a bad day.
