I did it and so can you! I only have my ASN by the way.. Good luck with everything!

I took the NCLEX RN yesterday and let me tell you I did not feel confident at all. I mean you hear the horror stories of people failing and all kinds of things. But I personally did about 50 questions a day and some days I did 100. I stuided Kaplan not the course but the stragies book, Lacharity, and Saunders. Like everybody says just do questions over and over again and pay attention to rationales. Pay close attention to infection control I had ALOT of those as well as priority and SATA. I found out that I passed today and I am soooo excited that Florida is one of those states that lets you know in 24hrs for free to boot. But good luck to you and don't pay attention if you don't stop at a certain number I had 200 questions and passed!

Sending you an email!!! Thanks in advance!!

Congrats!!! How many question per day to you suggest, or how many did you do?

How did you study? What books?

Any updates??? I will be graduating soon and I am also interested in Neuro ICU, but of course shaking in my boots because it seems so challenging.

For me personally, I couldn't see myself working fulltime and going to school full time. Nursing school requires ALOT of studying and for me that would be too much. Not to say that you can't work at all, because I do work every weekend (20hrs). So if possibly work parttime or find a hospital who will pay you for going to school. Thats what I'm doing and its great, fulltime pay and I only work 2 days a week. Good luck to you!!

Alot of parents come to orientation when we had ours. I bought my mom, step dad. Its so sweet she wants to come, plus it will give her insight on how busy you will be! CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!

I have a question, when I go to hang my IVPB, do I stop my primary bag that is running and then put in my secondary rate and volume or can it still be running? I went ove this numerous times in lab but for some reason cannot remember.

I agree with fluid and electrolytes being hard, but also in my class a bunch of us had a hard time with diabetes.

Hi this post is sorta old but I want to know if anyone has done a recent med checkoff and how it went. Could you also describe the sort of things the instructors would ask about the meds as well. Thanks I don't have this checkoff until February but we have a really BUSY semester, so I am trying to get ahead on somethings. Thanks so much!!!!!:heartbeat

I got a b+ but its only my first semester. I have sooo long to finish. Good luck to those still waiting.

I Passsed Yes!!!!!!!!!! Only Took Me Two Trys But Hey... I Got It.lol

:smackingf:smackingf I had my foley checkoff today also, unfortunatley I failed. I have retake in the morning though. I had a male and I didn't clean right and I also goofed and forgot how to remove sterile gloves properly!!!:smackingf :angryfire

daytonite: i recived my npr back because my instructor said one of my client goals isn't appropriate. i wrote " the client will void at least 120ml by 11am on 11-03-08. she said that he has a foley so that i can't write void and that i should concentrate more on managment of the foley. so with that being said i looked in my npr and i am leaning toward writing. i don't even no where to begin. i don't want you to answer for me just some kind of guidance please on what i should focus on as far as the foley goes. thank you
