It works. Congrats!

Enjoy your friends and family now while you have the chance. Take a vacation. Read the books that you want to read. Go out to dinner. Go to movies. Sleep late. Once school starts you can kiss those things goodbye!

:heartbeat HURST! Just sayin'.

Agreed.

First of all she stated that the amount of blood was 6cm...so taking that into consideration...I'd be reinforcing my dressing FIRST before I took vitals. If I'm your patient and I'm bleeding out and you come at me with a blood pressure cuff?! Excuse me, no. You don't need a BP to tell if I will be going to into shock...you can SEE THAT. What you better do is apply pressure and hit that call light for help, hollar out the door, or SOMETHING. Once the patient is STABLE, then I would get a set of vitals BEFORE I called the MD. I never said I would call the MD without vitals. However, if it was an emergency and I didn't have them all the info they need is "Your patient Ms.B is bleeding out...get here quick." And for another thing...my NCLEX questions were very straight forward and to the point.

You made a mistake, learned a valuable lesson, now MOVE ON! Don't let this get you down...you've still got a ways to go! CHIN UP AND GOOD LUCK!

In real world...vitals is the LAST thing I'd do. Taking the BP isn't going to help your pt who is bleeding out! And NCLEX uses this same thought process!

Sounds like discrimination to me...might want to check your school's policy on discrimination. You may have a good case.

Being mentally prepared is very important! You'll do great! Good luck!!!

No matter how much you study you can't possibly know everything on the test. I put in some major study time and there were things on my NCLEX that, when I read the question, I thought "Shoot! I should have looked that over!". Do what you can...use your critical thinking...review test taking strategies...review your content...answer lots of questions and read ALL the rationales. GOOD LUCK!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I believe Hurst has a remediation program if you take their review and fail. I took Hurst review and loved it. I did the online one though (it is cheaper than a live review, I think). Check into their website for details (hurstreview.com). This is such a comprehensive review that I wish I had known about it at the beginning of nursing school so I could have been using the online videos with my lecture content. It would have made nursing school so much easier! I think once you purchase online review you have access indefinitely. Not 100% sure about that. But it is a great investment.

Just be patient and try the PVT trick again! I know its hard but all you can do at this point is wait.

I took Hurst and LOVED it. She goes over a lot of core content. You can't pass NCLEX if you don't know the basics. I recommend Hurst to get you started and then maybe Kaplan to start applying that knowledge! Don't give up! You can do it!

That means they are reviewing your exam...give it a little more time. Keep us posted!

LOL !!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU PASSED!!! I was wary at first at how accurate it was...so I waited to tell my family and friends until I got my 'official' results. But it works, I promise you! RELAX!!! You are an RN!!! YAY!!!

Nothing wrong with 265!!! I got 265 and now I am an RN!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really works!!!!!! I got back home after taking my test (I had a 45 min drive)...stumbled upon this website...tried the trick...got the 'good pop up'...and today my quick results were ready and it says PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurst was the only thing I used. I did her program and her practice questions. Doing it online is cheaper than doing the live review. I found out this morning that I did pass NCLEX so it does work!

Yes, I did! I make my answer choice carefully and then move on. When I start reading too much and over analyzing it is when I get in trouble and talk myself out of the right answer. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to test time. I can rationalize almost anything.

Just wanted to follow and up let you guys know that the trick WORKS!!! I just got my results and I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE SATA QUESTIONS! I am always off by one. I did have some on NCLEX today (about 4-5). Its not enough to stress out over.

I did Hurst review online and really enjoyed it. Marlene did almost all of the videos except for a few. I did her practice questions and even bought an additional Hurst book. She is hilarious and really breaks stuff down and makes it memorable. I took NCLEX today, got the good pop up, so I think I passed. I definitely recommend Hurst review!

When I was studying I learned it was Morphine first. MONA (Morphine, Oxygen, Nitro, Asa)

Know your lab vaules of your lytes. and RELAX!
