  1. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Dorota, I know the feeling, but don't despair! Practice makes perfect and that being said, all you want to do is practice trainer questions. After I realize that Kaplan was no good (except for...

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Cardiacgirl123, you will do well! The number of times you tried does not matter except for a dent in self-esteem! What matters is that you'll succeed and finally put it behind you. I will PM the...

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Achiever77, you will pass the NCLEX, no doubt about that! How do I know? I know this because if you have the tenacity and determination to go back and challenge it, this is half the victory already...

  4. Does Level of Trauma Center matter?

    RUmedic replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Emergency

    I am in Tampa Bay area, which has Tampa General Hospital, the only one that has Level I trauma ED in all of West FLA. That being said, their ED openings have these requirements, I quote: "Graduate of...

  5. Home Health to ER

    RUmedic replied to Sandybear's topic in Emergency

    I've also just applied for ED internship and was told that many aspects of emergency/critical care would be learned on the unit. One thing I found of interest was that the hospital that I applied for...

  6. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know anything about UWorld. Wanted to try it before I bought it, but they wouldn't let me. After that I found NLCEX Mastery and never looked back. Kaplan QTrainer was not bad, but it was...

  7. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated back in the 90-s, worked for about three years and then lapsed for quite a few years doing something that was unrelated to medical field. Three years ago I made a comeback but could not...

  9. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Miguel, Don't lose hope and don't let past failures define your future and what kind of nurse you will be. In fact I don't see failed attempts as failures. I see them as obstacles that require extra...

  10. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am positive you would then benefit from Nclex Mastery app, or any other good mobile app. If you practice questions every day and write down rationale behind incorrectly answered ones, you would then...

  11. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know the feeling all too well. The previous 3 attempts I got all 265 questions each time. If you practice questions every day, you will surely pass next time you take it. Keep

  12. Passed NCLEX, 75 questions, 4th attempt

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This sounds like a good strategy. This way you will be able to knock off at least 1500 questions. Practicing questions is the key, especially SATA. When you come in for NCLEX and see these SATA...

    RUmedic replied to RUmedic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not a problem, I'll send a link to the notes once I have scanned them this weekend. It is not a guide, but rather just bunch of miscellaneous notes on key questions that one may or may not get on...

  16. Test question has me confused...

    RUmedic replied to mdiada's topic in General Nursing

    You follow the right track of assessing before implementing, however the root of the question would always be indicative whether or not there's some assessment that has already been made. In this...

  17. giving half a dose

    RUmedic replied to coletanner's topic in Patient Medications

    "The commuter" said it well. Just to add to it, there are some facilities that have policies outlining very conservative DM management. The hospital I had my clinical rotation at would have insulin...

  21. Help me pass!

    RUmedic replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As previous posters already stressed, nitrates (1) and calcium channel blockers (2) would be the first line treatment of choice. There are at least a couple of articles that point out to practical use...

  24. Three attempts and no success

    RUmedic replied to Nevergunnapass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I looked at Uworld and am of opinion that it is likely to be a very good and comprehensive resource, except they charge for monthly access. After my remedial course (expensive!) and other prep...

  25. Three attempts and no success

    RUmedic replied to Nevergunnapass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Please don't lose heart! I took NCLEX 4 times and have failed 3 times, so I know how it feels. I have seen that many on these boards have used Uworld. I can't comment on this because I never used...
