30days2nclex

I have taken nclex before and yes you will need this book. Nclex has a lot of "who would you see first" questions and this book is all about those type of questions. I wish I had purchased this book before I took McLeod maybe I would have passed. I just finished this book. It has an online Version that comes with it. I say yes get the book. Just know the difference between what an Rn, lpn, and nurse aid can do and this book helps you with that as well. I'm a unlicensed PN.

Glaucoma is treated by beta blockers. It reduces the pressure within the eyeball. The medication lowers the production of fluid inside the aqueous humor

Can't wait to get home and go over these meds again

Kayexalate is used in hyperkalemia. It is used to excrete potassium out of the body. Here is a quick way to remember kayexalate. For hyperkalemia: Be K.I.N.D to the patient. K- kayexalate I - INSULIN N- SODIUM BICARB D - DIURECTICS. Hope this helps

Fluoxetine is used for depression ..if the dose is greater than 20 mg it should be given in 2 seperate doses not 1 dose.

Fifth time will be the charm for me. Congratulations! You deserve to be happy and you worked hard for that license

I love how you guys are explaining these meds and different conditions. This is like Pharmacology 101 or pharmacology made simple. You guys rock! Keep them coming we're learning so much here. Thanks!

I almost forgot that. Thanks!

"How" sorry

I agree, it is ridiculous . Thanks for sharing

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Love it!

I graduated 2 yrs ago and have been challenging the board ever since. Just getting creative with hoe I study. Thanks:)

What do you mean by taking a weeks worth?? Just curious

Just want to see what meds people have come across during their studies and experiences. Thank you, you are very knowledgeable.

Nitroglycerin commonly seen with angina pectoris.

Yes. Folks keep them coming! This is great!

Name a disease and then name the drug that's mostly commonly associated with that disease or condition. Here's mine: Erythromicin is seen with chlamydia and syphilis. Anybody else got anything?

Yes! My problem is..not looking at all the answer choices. Misinterpreting words like serous and serious lol. Half of it was my problem not really paying attention to the question or just hurrying through just to say I studied today. After failing 4 times I've developed new study habits as well, writing down things over and over again, saying things out loud, making hundreds of flashcards that have now turned into a book lol. I have 300 medications in a box and I'm gonna get through them even if its going over 3 a day. Will Smith said you don't set out to build a wall you just focus on one brick at a time.

I wish we had more people on here that would come forth and say how many times they took nclex. I really respect the people who are not afraid to say how many times they took it and then passed. I will start with myself. I have taken Nclex 4 times already. I graduated in 2012 and I agree with a recent post I read, it is embarrassing especially if people you work with know you have already graduated. I have gone through so many emotions with this test. Each time I took the test I broke down and cried and questioned my ability, but someone encouraged me by saying this: just because you failed nclex doesn't make you bad nurse, if anything it will make you a more careful nurse. Some of the best nurses failed this exam a few times. Think of it this way, once you finally do get that license you will remember how hard it was to get and that you will work that much harder to keep it. Don't let me people tell you oh it wasn't that hard, to them maybe it wasn't. Maybe they didn't have a full time job like you have, maybe they are still at home with their parents not paying for rent, car insurance,kids, and just bills. Maybe they didn't have to work so that's why they could spend 8-12 hours a day studying. I don't have 12 hours a day to study so I decided I don't care how long it takes to get this license I'm gonna study day by day , taking my time and absorbing it all in. I'm gonna keep watching YouTube videos, I'm gonna finish my PDA book and once I'm done with my PDA book if I still don't understand it I'm gonna buy another and do that one. I'm gonna keep visiting allnurses everyday several times a day. I'm gonna read and not rush my studying. It's better to do 30 questions a day with full understanding then to do 100 questions a day just to say you did 100 and you didn't understand a thing. I'm currently studying the three major topics. Safety infection control, pharmacology, and priority.

Congrats Hun!

You could start applying for jobs now..I mean what could it hurt? You already passed, by time bon update they should be calling you in for an interview.

No I'm not a teacher never have been but I do believe in different ways of learning. We get tired of the same old boring way sometimes. I just want learning to be fun and new and exciting. I'm glad you're in. This is how I hold myself accountable to studying. We all are new at nursing so lets have fun teaching and learning from each other. Nclex Review Pn is free online I will find the link.

OK. I replied

Hey! Thanks. Read my latest post.. I created a schedule! Hope you can join again.
