right because a pyc pt mybe just depressed or have a borderline personality it does not sayanything about the pt. being psycotic. dont read into it you cant think what if??? a pt. is a pt. a pyc pt is the same as a heart pt when it comes to physical things. you should always ask the pt. even a confussed pt usually can remember there name. loc's might know there name but just doesnt know where they r or how they got there this usually the case. just dont dont read into they question.

i am not all depressed or anything. it was 1 1/2yrs sincr i graduated. and since i got all the questions and near passing i think i am just a little off. meaning very close to passing. there was a lot of questions that i just didnt know or forgot. like 5-6 med questions were meds i never heard of and i have been working in the hospitals for about 3 years. and they had i am not kidding like 10 questions on lead poisoning. i knew the basics that lead replaces iron and those type symptoms but they asked different things like what antibiotic to use for prevention. huh, antibody for lead poison, no idea. and some of the other questions i know the answer but got the facts mixed in my head like there was a question or four on addisons disease, forgot most of it all i could remember is that is could lead too a crisis a htn crisis. so i am going to just study the same way but take more time not just 2-3 weeks and make flash cards of they basic patho of everything. i think that will help me focus if i can reconize the patho rightaway or the drug name and the type of drug class. since the test i have been going over it in my head and think the biggest problem was thinking about dease or the mech of action and not looking at it in a holisitc way. my focus was thrown off. if i did reconize or i saw a question that i wasnt sure what was going on like addisons i would start to try to remember all that was going on with the disease and not focusing on what was going on with patient. i do want to try mosbys cat test though. has anyone ever hear of someone doing good that test but still failed the nclex. again thanks for the imput and if anyone lives near l.a. or the redondo beach area and want to study togather let me know i would love to have a study buddy just to compare notes. i am planning to retake in mid may. o one more thing does anyone know how long it takes to get aproved when you reaply for the boards. and sorry for typos i really really suck at typing good thing when we become an r.n. we will have unit secretary

i just recieved my nclex results and found out i failed. i have been out school for about 1.5 yr dont ask why i waited but there is a good reason anyway i answered 265 questions and my performance report says near passing standard in all areas any ideas on what this really means and how to study for the next one :stone
