I had a pt that was drug dependent and bipolar and was given the max amount of pain medications the doctor would allow. My instruction gave her a syringe of saline to calm her down. This did help but I wonder if this is legal. Anyone ever hear of this happening before?

Here is what I did. I rewrote the PowerPoints from class in black, then read the text book and added notes from there in green, the info we got in class I did in blue. After each exam I would mark the test questions and watch the patterns. Certain tests were from the textbook others from the notes given in class. The only thing to do is ask if the majority of questions are from the notes or text and you can figure out the important stuff. Hope this helps!

For everyone that believes the hype of study or that.. it didn't work for me. Let me explain. I used Kaplan, did every trainer and all Qbank, all my scores were upper 60's and 70's. So I knew I was in a good place to pass. I also used Saunders did about 90% of their CD which was probably around 2000 questions. Neither helped. I have to say I did pass but purely on my knowledge from class. I had questions on postmortem care (never heard a thing about it) herbals (none that were stressed in class/trainers) vena cava syndrome (briefy talked about) zero labs not even in the question part, zero calculations, tons of questions about PICCs. I really thought I had failed and was surprised to find my name on BON. It really used depends on the random questions that are selected. Kaplan's format to weed out questions does not work for the NCLEX. All the options are good for the NCLEX, i.e. increase fluids, stop smoking, call DR if..., Kaplan's are stated like, decrease fluids (usually wrong), cut down smoking (always wrong, answer is Stop smoking). That sort of thing. Kaplan questions are worded the exact same and the NCLEX looks just like it but the answer options are much easier for Kaplan.. Good luck all!
