i just emailed it. Please let me know if any of u didnt get it. good luck to all of u!!!

sorry shaybrown! just got your message and sent the email w the study guide attached

NCSBN is awesome!!! u can do it

Ilovenursing07----Hi!..keep doing your NCSBN questions. I thought they were sooo hard and did awful on them, but it really helped me esp the strategies. I started answering questions right even if i had no clue because it teaches u to look for similar things, or assess first, bla bla. u need to really review over the study guide on here. its 35 pages, but helped me TREMENDOUSLY> and keep to your NCSBN questions and do all of the saunders questions on the cd. if u dont have the all nurses study guide that someone made, send me ur email.

congrats to u also. So amazing!!! ya i never knew we had to pay soo much for our license. Im like geez, the money spent JUST to test not to mention study supplies.. oh well! it will pay back 10 fold. congrats to everyone....

HAHAHA.. meee toooo! im like omg what am i going to do with all my free time?? i just told my fiance that monday, im starting the insanity work out, dieting, and getting my life back.. tonight we r going to watch "drop dead fred" order BW3 wings and make our gingerbread house with my daugther.. ahhhhh sooo amazing to have this weight lifted off.. im so proud of u.. its finally overrrrrrrrrr

im not sure when we can start.. im gonna pay my unofficial results like tuesday, and then update my resume, and start going to town.. we will get our official results in 2 weeks or so.. i thought i read somewhere that we have to pay like 150 bucks for our license??

cky777--awesome...i like nclex 3000 also. i did just the SATA and did sooooo awful on them. the SATA on MY test was so obvious. it wasnt like OMG i cant remember all these side effects because i didnt have anything like that

im not sure where its posted anymore. i have it saved on my computer. i made notes over it, memorized the infection control and basically just knew most of the info on it. i loved it. but nursingbro's test was sooo different and seemed much harder than mine with much different topics, so that just shows u how every test is soooo random. what worked for me may not be enough for ur test.

im happy for u too! i had no "which patients would u put in room with x" just a few pharm, and probly almost half of my test was SATA and like 7 put in orders, with priority, delegation. again, i just got lucky. dont u feel sooo relieved???? i cant wait to update my resume and find a job to start applying my knowledge and starting a new career...yayyy

i will pray for u also...go over that study guide thats floating around here and do all of saunders practice questions and for meds, know the endings with side effects

everyones test is different. I had myself sooo worked up for the questions to be to where i wouldnt be able to comprehend it, or that i would have sooo many side effects that i wouldnt be able to remember, etc. so when i saw questions that were literally like one or two sentences straight to the point, and answers i recognized, and all the topics i recognized, i was just impressed. i got lucky!!!

all 3 of the infection control/precautions were probably like 7 questions, one of the meds on there was on it, i had NO dosage calculations. i was suprised. i had frieking 8 put in order though. and then toward the end of my test, i had 3 questions that i had in the beginning of my test, just worded VERY slightly different. i was like WHAT?? is this a joke?? prioritization, infections control, delegation was most of mine..

pretty sure i passed also!! wooohooo to us! congrats to u!!! i didnt wanna jinx myself until i got the good pop up, but 85 questions, and thought it was a joke. NOTHING like i expected. i had like 6 or 7 meds, almost every other question was SATA but they were so easy to be honest. i started at 1030 and left at 1145. im soooo very blessed. I have God to thank first and foremost. my hard work, extensive notes, practice questions, and the study guide paid off. i viewed the study guide the past 2 days and to be honest, like 50 percent of the stuff i had on my test was on there. weird!!! im sooo happy.

ive been wondering all day how u did?? pretty sure u passed! i took mine as well. im about to do the trick now. get back to u soon...

thank u! im very nervous about pharm because of the exact description of what u posted. nothing i can do about not recognizing meds. i just pray im one of the lucky ones to not get too many meds.. thank u again

im sorry im not sure which post ur talking about??? if it was a long while ago, i forget lol.

thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks doll!!! i mostly did the the tests at the very bottom. theres like 3 test categories and in each one, theres multiple 20 question tests that gives u the answers,rationales, and answer picking strategies as u go. READ EVERY ONE OF THEM. also, re read the question and ALL answers when seeing why u got it wrong or right so that u dont pick the wrong answer again if its every re worded differently. Its important to understand the "WHY" behind everything. once u do, u will start rationalizing on your own when u come to each answer choice. oh and ps..since u have time..read through all the content on NCSBN also. i just didnt have time. its good, detailed stuff.

yep! u read it! its finally here and im feeling sooo anxious inside. again, from my previous posts, ive been out of school for a year now. My dumb mistake!! I was burnt out, my fiance and i bought a house, and i enjoyed the summer home with my daughter. so ive been at it since september slowly, but started hitting it hard mid october with A LITTLE OF EACH of saunders, exam cram, kaplan, hurst, and recently NCSBN questions. scores on kaplan are 60-70. My readiness test was a 74! not sure how i did that. NCSBN are like 50-60's. im almost done just scamming through the "study guide" floating around here. Please, if your reading this, just say a little prayer. i would appreciate it. thank u!!!

thank u teacher08! i am a nervous wreck esp being out of school for a year and having to "reteach" myself. thanks again!!!

good luck tomm!!!!!!! stay calm, breathe, focus, and pray!!

i take mine tomm at 1030 and have been doing NCSBN for the past week. Just the questions though since i dont have time for content. its really hard. i scored like 40's some 50's if i was lucky when i first started the questions. but the testing strategies after each question helps u to start analyzing your answers and finding if u need to assess or implement or which answer are similiar type thing. been doing it for a week and now my scores are high 50's-60's. still crap, but much improvement and im actually breaking down my answers. i could not comprehend kaplans decision tree for some reason and have been out of school for a year now. i did do some saunders and exam cram for content and kaplan qbank. i was scoring 50's to 60's on qbank until i started NCSBN which is much harder. i went back to kaplan qbank yesterday and took 4 quizzes and scored in the 70's. when you read the questions, ask if the question identifies exactly whats going on with the patient(diagnosis). if it says like the patient "appears" bla bla or patient is experiencing bla bla, typically your answer will be an assesment answer. so u can knock out implementation. u have to accurately know whats wrong with your patient to be able to implement. if u know whats wrong with your patient, then implement meaning wipe out assessment answers. knowing your steps of the nursing process is sooo crucial to answer questions. all this never clicked with me UNTIL NCSBN and reading my rationales and test taking strategies over and over. priority and delegation, just jump back in your lacharity PDA book. i think u will really like NCSBN..keep us posted and dont delay ur test anymore

nevermind. found it saved on my computer lol
