Heyy not really looking for medical advice, I'm already aware of protocols for procedures where I am at. Sorry I typed this so quickly, I did not recap the needles I meant using the safety device in place I was almost 100 % I covered both needles but somehow one was not and managed to lightly poke my pinky. Honestly didn't even consider it a needle stick since I barely felt it but then noticed a little tiny spot of blood. I guess I was just looking for similar situations from other people. I mean the incidence is so low but still scary. We don't even have that many hep c + patients like what are the odds -_-

Helping out a nurse pass her meds cause she was busy. Had to pass a short acting and long acting insulin, subq in the arm. No blood that I recall, I mean it was Subq. Feel horrible that while capping both needles I managed to prick my pinky. Never had a needle stick before and I noticed a small drop of bleeding from my pinky. Washed it out with soap and water. I did all the researching even looked at previous forums on the site. I know its low but cant shake the feeling. Yes patient is hep C + :(.

Hey really sorry to hear that . Unfortunately its pretty accurate. I wish you the best of luck because on very very rare occasions its wrong. But if in the case you didn't make it through, don't you stress yourself! It definitely sucks but you're not alone! I felt poopy but jumped right back into it basically ONLY using Uworld ( I did 75 questions a day for the month ). 265 means you were very close. I was out of the testing center in like 50 minutes with only 75 questions on the second attempt.

Hey everyone. I passed :D. Thanks everybody for the awesomeness and support. phew. I'm going to go fill myself up with alcohol now. You guys are the best!

Still waiting on the results to come in the mail. We don't have the quick results here in Ontario. I'm super anxious.

..................I got the good pop up. I'm freakn out

I used it for my first NCLEX attempt. Its okay, especially since your phone is always on you and you have the free time. Put a little too much faith in it though thinking it would be enough to pass. Did all questions and finished with a 60%.

Too scared to try it to be honest lol. The select all that apply questions were very difficult. I thought after using Uworld I'd be able to take on any SATA but these were like purposely difficult. Towards the end they started getting a little easier

This time around I got 75 questions. My first attempt I went the whole way (265). I really do not know what to feel. I used Uworld this time. Finished with a 68% average and thought I could take on anything. But man. I got around 15 SATA, no calculations, and very very difficult questions. I mean, so difficult that I was excited to see priority or SATA questions. I'm not even sure why I'm posting lol. Just want to thank the forums for keeping my head straight and giving me something to do during study breaks these past few difficult months. I really really really hope I did not fail or else I'm moving to the ocean to live with the water people. Note: Nclex asked me FOUR times about a diet concerning chronic kidney failure. I forgot that a low protein diet is included in the teachings. Why would they be so cruel to punish me if I didn't get it the first time?

How many Uworld questions did you do? After my first failed attempt Uworld is all I've really been doing. I'm almost done the bank, got one week before the second attempt.

Thats really awesome to hear! And congratulations :). So envious I also didn't pass my first time (265 questions, 4 hours, getting the same questions over and over). And now I'm using Uworld and sometimes the Nclex Mastery App. I currently have a 68% average on Uworld with about 450 questions left. But for the life of me I cannot stop worrying haha. I feel like I'm forgetting information and just cant study anymore. I'm doing 75 a day but I started so early and feel like I'm just not retaining anymore information. Brain fried.

Thats not what Uworld says though. That was what I originally stated. Uworld says gloves, goggles or face shield, gown, mask or respirator, and hand hygiene.

Thanks guys!! Yea thats what Uworld follows as well. THANKS NURSING SCHOOL

Hey everyone! I was taught in nursing school how to remove PPEs. I even have a little card attached to my nursing badge to remind me of the process of removing PPEs. It has always been:: -Remove gloves, Remove Gown, Perform Hand Hygiene, Remove Eye Protection, Remove Mask or N95 Respirator, Perform Hand Hygiene. This always made sense to me too. However, Uworld is saying gloves, goggles or face shield, gown, mask or respirator, and hand hygiene. Like.... how you gonna touch your face without at least washing your hands first. Someone help me

Thanks Lulu! I'm in the 93rd percentile but just cant help feeling like this nclex will still throw those crazy curve balls. Thanks a lot I'm praying for us too. Good luck friend
