Hi again - I wrote in my other post about this test - it's very worth it - I even got a few of the same questions on my nclex. See my other post about the online ncsbn. Best bet is to do the 45 dollar...
2bNurse: I just took the PN - It wasn't that bad. Suzanne, one of the moderators of allnurses.com has a good system, so check her out. Her first step is to take the test at the end of the chapters of...
Hi As for "trophy children", what I meant was that you and I all know, or know of, children who feel that maybe their parents will love them if only they're perfect enough, or whose parents force them...
Fun Nurse - yeah! I definitely felt like I was one of the "special" ten percent that bombed. Only the truly egotistical "know" they passed - ha! But still, considering the odds, they're on our side! I...
Dunno, my impression is doctors are like everybody else - some a real jerks, some are wonderful. It would be interesting to see the statistics on divorce. My casual impression is the a lot of nurses...
EG: Hey, I can relate to this! Mothers do this for their kids when a stranger is talking to them. Problem is when you forget they've grown up and can speak for themselves. I think the family member...
Nazarite: Hey CONGRATULATIONS! It seems that once the test starts asking about a particular thing, like yours about a pregnancy, it goes on and on. Who knows why - mine was a bunch of questions about...
GwafUh: Suzanne posted the below two years ago, so I don't know if it still applies. I think California still doesn't have the immediate gratification website where you can check in a few days....
LoveCharts: Sadly, I don't think many people get respect these days. Look at how politicians try to dig up the dirt on each other. Maybe patients and their families are thinking ahead - they don't...
cheung1139: Yes, it makes perfect sense - if you did fail at 85 questions, that means you did so badly, you can't redeem yourself in more than one hundred questions that come after the first 85....
the nurses are being so sweet, but i am amazed that the hospital doesn't deal with this? where i live, doesn't matter which hospital, that lady would have a state case worker on her in no time - i...
sounds good, ohnonotagain! turning off at 75 is a good sign. after all, some people end up doing over 200, trying to convince the computer they passed. i think you'd have to bomb out terribly for the...
Nazarite: Hey, you passed! I know it! I think I had the same test - a bunch of math questions, but it really was the same one over and over. I thought to myself, am I getting this wrong over and over...
Rnaffah: http://www.the-abg-site.com/level1.htm - this is a good review of blood gases, too. this is from an allnurses.com posting two years ago from nursefirst: Okay: first thing, find out what the...
You can look them all up on amazon.com and maybe even get used copies for much cheaper. With all books, you're better off getting the most recent edition, though I don't think it's entirely necessary....
Kljanna, Stopping early at 78 is a very good sign. I think you would have to get a lot of questions wrong if you failed at 78. Just think, people can get 200 questions and more. I bet the computer...
couple o' things here: nurses have to be aware of how the system works to change it. In western Mass., where I live, there's a strong nurse union. About underpaid workers - two people were stuck in a...
