For those who solely used Uworld, how many questions did you answer in one sitting, and per day? What percentage should you have using Uworld is most likely to pass NCLEX?

I know this thread started a year ago, but any one who used Uworld and found it helpful, how many questions did you answer in one sitting and per day?

canigraduate, RN advice to you is spot on. If you can pass one class and fail the other without being kicked out of the program, I would do that. For Pharm, I youtube almost everything, and I use other books for my classes. Doing practice questions from Nclex books (Saunders) or using PrepU while you are studying has helped me tremendously. Need to do at least 100 questions on the subject at hand in a week has helped me. I wish you the best

ok thank you everyone. So i guess outcome identification is a fancy word for goals/what is the highest priority in a situation?

I'm not having a problem with picking the answer, it's understanding applying outcome identification in test questions.

the following is the question; I just can't seem to understand outcome identification the concept as a whole, but when they ask it in question form it really throws me for a loop. I know the answer is pain management because of all the answers, pain management makes the most sense, but what I don't seem to understand is outcome identification to all scenarios. When a nurse notices the client is in pain and needs to learn to walk on crutches, which outcome identification is the priority?

I know this is an old thread, but I was looking for an already asked question on this subject since I'm starting school in 2 days!!! Thank you crazed_NS because of your link, I did ended up buying the High Sierra Power glide and it is fabulous! Also it's discounted as I write this post at 49.99, plus 15% off. What a deal, but like I said as of right now this is the price. Anyone one on the fence to buy a wheelie backpack, go for it. It doubles as a regular backpack so you can still use it as such if you get cold feet rolling it in http://www.ebags.com/product/high-si...uctid=10178185

All nursing schools cc or universities are hard to get into. It took me almost 2 years to get in. My advice would be just get the best grades you can, try to get only A's and B's and kick butt on whatever entrance exam they need you to take. My school looked at overall gpa, science gpa, TEAS V score, CNA licsense, degree, ect... The more you have what they want the better.Every school is different though. So google each school you want to go to, and look at their nursing section and read what they want their applicants to have. Good luck. Your still very young so you have plenty of time to go to nursing school. I'm 33 and I'm barely starting my program this August.

I'm 33 with 1 kid too. Just got accepted into my program after waiting for almost 2 years to get in. My advice, get the best grades you can without any withdraws on your transcript, or any F's or repeats. The cleaner the transcript the better, and get the best possible score on your nursing entrance exam. I took the TEAS V. My school only took the first attempt score, so make sure you know all the things required to whatever school your applying to, because it is painfully competitive. Good luck, and you can do it. Put the hours into studying for your pre reqs and you will get good grades.

It took me 3+ years to do all my pre reqs which included English, math, child development, communications, psychology, ect because those classes on top of the anatomy, physio and micro are needed to apply to the program I got accepted in.

I'm learning Dimensional analysis for med math, but I was wondering if there were other ways of doing med math and what the names of such approaches are called. I want to learn a second way of doing it, incase I brain fart on DA. Thanks for any input.

Yes I did. I typed it out word, for word. Confusing right? I know I am

Helpful website. Thank you.

I was thinking that too, but the answer in my book says 100 mg/day, so I'm like WTH!!??

I was wondering what formula are you using to figure out your calculations. I'm being taught dimensional analysis but I hear there are many ways to do med math, so I'd like to see what else is out there because I'm not too sure on DA. To answer your second question; erythromycin is 20 mg/kg/day, and since the converted lbs to kg, I multiplied my weight in kg to 20, which gave 300 mg a day, and divided that by 4 to get individual dose, since B is asking mg/dose
