Hey Aleena yours is on the nineth as well? What a cool date huh. I love it 09-09-09.

I hope that ujones grandma or aunt is wrong with telling the date, or at least that no devil had an ear when I told ..EVERYONE! lol. I cant keep anything for myself when I get excited. Just curious if anyone takes theirs in Albany GA on the nineth. Here is what I did:

I figured the day before we all know not to study and to rest, so I booked myself an expensive hotel and I will make use of the whirrlpool and the luxuries they provide! I will get pampered for the big day. Makes me wonder...I do not think I pampered myself that much when I got married, maybe that is why I am divorced now! lol. I am so silly.

I am coming to GA do u have any room for me:smokin:

LOl Ujones. I cant help it to make fun of that spelling. Well, the room is for two adults and it is only me so come on down and we party the night before the test. Oh wait, that might be not a good thing! I wish I were not going alone. I might ask my brother to suffer with me lol.

This is just a suggestion that helped me. I took my NCLEX-PN at 40 years old! ANYWHO, take as many of the tests in the back of the books (or on disks) as you can. Just take them, no second guessing, don't look stuff up as you are doing it. When you are through, go back and correct it. There becomes a pattern of questions that you need to review the material on. Concentrate your studying on those areas. Good luck to all of you!!

Ok so I just want to verify infection control with all of you. I know this is in the books and all over this website but I made notes and want to double check them with everyone:

When donning:

On: top to bottom: gown, mask, goggles, gloves

Off: gloves, goggles, mask, gown

Only room cohorts of same disease or strain.

Airborne: TB, Shingles, Varicella, Measles

**N95 respirator mask, negative pressure room, pt wears mask when being transported but try to limit out of room activity.

Droplet: (LOTS!): meningitis-bacterial, influenza, adenovirus, diptheria, HIB, Mumps, pertussis, streptococcus, pneumonia, rhinovirus, rubella, scarlet fever, sepsis, epiglottidis

**Wear mask. Door may be open. Maintain 3 ft between infected patients and visitors. Pt wears mask when transporting

Contact: MRSA, C-diff, VRE, Bronchiolitis, conjunctivits, Hep A, herpes, impetigo, pediculosis, rotavirus, RSV, scabies, croup.

**Gloves unless in contact with secretions or drainage then also wear gown. Anything important about transporting??

Standard: Botulism, cellultis, CMV, Mono, Pinworm, legionnaires disease, lyme disease, norovirus, rabies, Reye's, rheumatic fever, west nile, tinea, viral meningitis.

**Gown when necessary (wound care), gloves, wash hands between patients, assume everyone has infectious disease.

Please check for accuracy if you disagree with something! I just want to make sure I know my infection control!

Thanks! Happy Studying :)

Thanks - I just have this horrid feeling in my belly that is not good - the machine shut off at 85 questions...So, I guess that right now, I do have to trust in my faith that whatever happens with the test, happened for a reason and God is going to guide my footsteps to where I need to be, and if it means plunking my butt in that chair a 2nd time, then so be it.
