LIG RN

Sounds good----I say make one-

230 questions------2 hours----------including a break---

hi---------30 plus SATA-------- The killers for me were the priority questions (75)------------total 230----------Passed-------

I got a good pop up, 48 hours later pearson confirmed it with a pass-----------

Official results in========Passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it says for Macintosh or Windows-----------------Pearson------------Prentice Hall------------------it has around 6000 questions-----

Thanks--------caliotter3 Monkey---------yes use the cd in study mode------------I did it nonstop for about 5 days prior to test... On NCLEX, there was nothing that I did not know due to using that cd from the book. If I had any advise, it would be to get another book for the priority questions. I should have. I excel in the content area, but for some reason cannot master those questions. I always feel that they are too subjective or that not enough information is given... Also--------------LOOK closely at diseases that require isolation, from birth and up, and remember those----------when to wear mask, gown, glove , hepa etc... I feel as if the NCLEX was frazzled with me... I knew that I was acing the hard questions and missing the super easy. Then, about 8 times through the test, my screen went blank for 15-60 seconds. So I guess it was trying to decide what to give next.

I bought a book called "Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN" by Mary Ann Hogan------------- All i did was practice questions on the cd with rationale. I have 6 other friends that have the same book. So far 2 have passed, hopefully I did with the PVT pop-up, And the others are taking NCLEX in the upcoming weeks.--------------------- I purchased it at a used store for $20. The cd is good. It will show you your strengths and weaknesses. I found by doing the questions fast (30 seconds or less) that my overall score increased by 8%. So, on the NLCEX, I went as fast as possible.

obvious, no-------------------Below is how a lot of them were (not an actual question, but similar) Patient 1 K of 3.9 Patient 2 Na of 142 Patient 3 Resp of 16 Patient 4 Pain 1 out of 10 Who is the priority? No other info given-----------------------

Yes----------though I am not a God fearing man, I will think good thoughts for you----------- I think the proctors thought I was on crack speeding through it. The worst part was my hand was so sweaty that it was slipping off the mouse. :redbeathe

Never lose faith. My wife is a wonderful nurse, she is just horrible at test taking. On try number 10-------------yes 10---------------------she passed------------- What she did to pass was really learn and practice test taking strategies.

Well, today was the day of my test. I do not know what was worse, hearing noisy car mufflers off in the distance or my heart thumping at 135+ while using the ear plugs. I studied a lot for the test and found it to be of no use. The NCLEX quickly determined that my weakness was Priority questions. As far as questions go, I received 215 and finished in 1 hour and 58 minutes. I had around 30 SATA and close to 75 priority questions. The good news is that I received the good pop up.

And who is my patient?????????

Hi, previous Army here..... Are you able to be switched to another preceptor? As far as your preceptor goes, if she had a problem with you smoking, her, in the role as preceptor, should have been able to tell you what acceptable smoke breaks are. If she is not able to mentor/manage a nursing student, then she has no business being in that role. The school works for you and needs to place you elsewhere. It appears for what ever reason, the both of you are not a match. The school of course will take the hospital's side, if they did not, they would lose valuable slots. Bottom line is, they need to place you somewhere else.

First ... I am a male nursing student posting in the male nursing student thread. Followed by posting in a category entitled "Male OB Frustration"...Does this sound like it's going to be a warm and fuzzy topic? Second...If you wish to lecture someone on "Professionalism", I will gladly give you the name and number of my OB instructor and I am sure other males on here would do the same. Third...Please show me exactly where I decided to throw being a patient advocate out the window. I was simply stating the fact of "samirish" trying to stereotype women was absurd. She could have easily found and cited some research topics off of pubmed or something. Fourth... Since you wish to remind me what is learned in nursing school, let me reeducate you on never giving up your "Scope of Practice", whether to another medical discipline OR someone else in the Nursing profession. Fifth...What, cause I am a Male I should be limited to positions of ICU, ER or patient lifter. Sixth...Hopefully, one day when I am a older, wiser male nurse, I will still have the gusto to stick up for myself instead of coming off as a Gelding.
