1. Do I really know anything??!!

   diverguy replied to mdeanrn's topic in NCLEX

   YES absolutely. But only if you know the core content. I failed first attempt because although I had good strategy I was weak on content. I did HURST to strengthen my content. But to answer your question I do believe that knowing what the question is...

2. Do I really know anything??!!

   diverguy replied to mdeanrn's topic in NCLEX

   I took all the Kaplan test and most of the time scored in high 50- low 60. And I passed NCLEX today. Honestly the more questions I practiced the more confident I felt about test taking. Don't concentrate do much on your score but more on understandin...

3. Taking Kaplan online course, is it effective enough as the classroom one!

   diverguy replied to shriju920's topic in NCLEX

   I hated the Kaplan live review, just question after question, nothing on content. HURST is great if you are weak on content. I did HURST twice, once in Jan for HESI and when I failed NCLEX they opened it back for me to review and I did the complete r...

   diverguy replied to diverguy's topic in NCLEX

   I will say this also. I studied for a min of 10-12 hr every day for almost three weeks. did HURST a second time to review content. I took all six of their test over again, I put sticky notes on my screen so I couldn't see the answers or the choice I ...

   diverguy replied to diverguy's topic in NCLEX

   honestly, the SATA were pretty straight forward, maybe just one that was questionable but most were dead on T or F answers. the put in order was very easy. but I had MANY priority, who would the nurse see first. and MANY med questions on drugs I neve...

9. nclex pharm

   diverguy replied to cjdmomma's topic in NCLEX

   this may be helpful, pharm covers 16-19% of the test. so is it important? YES, very. but pharm also covers dosage cal, IV therapy, meds, med administration, delegation of meds. so if you break that down you "should" only get 3 or 4 "med" questions. B...

10. Infection control NCLEX.

    diverguy replied to BoszPrince's topic in NCLEX

    would like to add to this that initially all suspects of meningitis are put in isolations. CSF is drawn and tested for glucose. viral is the more common and less serious. bacterial is harder to fight and more contagious. bacteria bad viral vis...

    diverguy replied to diverguy's topic in NCLEX

    I'm not 100% sure its helping. seems to frustrate me more than help, but my scores are getting better. just had a question about a guy returning from surgery with a drain and no drainage noted by nurse. what should she do. I chose check vitals but ...

15. Help with understanding question rationale

    diverguy replied to splendid's topic in NCLEX

    maybe its this. aspirate has to do with the administration of heparin, not heparin itself. the question didn't ask about administration. just my thoughts and thinking outside the box.
