5. NCBSN Review Questions

   Traumajunkie91 replied to kh1990's topic in NCLEX

   I used their 3 week course... After passing nclex the first time my advice: Don't worry about your scores. Learn from the questions you got wrong - understand why you got them wrong. Read rationales whether or not you got the question correct. My sco...

10. both respiratory and metabolic acidosis - possible?

    Traumajunkie91 replied to coolplanet2003's topic in Critical

    I think it is partially compensated metabolic acidosis. It is not fully compensated, as the ph would have to be normal for that to be so. I could be wrong but as I remember it, if the ph and hco3 are going in the same direction (both are going down =...

14. Anyone using NCSBN learning ext? Need feedback!

    Traumajunkie91 replied to PVL_RN86's topic in NCLEX

    I used the 3 week course from NCSBN. I got really worried because many times I would get 40% on a test. What I realize now after taking NCLEX (and passing in 75:shy:) is that what matters is that you learned something and understand why you got a que...

    Traumajunkie91 replied to Laborlander's topic in NCLEX

    It is true SATA could be either high or low level questions. I felt like I bombed the test when I finished at 75, I was sure of it - but I passed. Most people do. Do something to take your mind off of this until your results are available. Everyone I...
