*phew*

75 questions, half an hour, I left thinking I had a case of cranius rectus.

No math, lots of teaching, evaluation of meds, mostly priority.

I gave airways priority. Then breathing, then circulation. Is that right?

I'll know Wednesday.

Thanks, everyone.

Ya better start a new thread, Sue "75 questions, did I pass?"

Woo hoooooooooo!! Wow, you beat my time by 15 minutes!

*snort*

Thanks, everyone. I'm optimistic.

Lunah, I NEVER change an answer, hence, the record-breaking time. Let's just hope I broke the record and passed!

my choice:

1) c

2) d, as i didn't understand choice "A" was it completed?

[SuesquatchRN, BSN, RN]

No, these were goofy questions a friend and I made up. Her mom was the patient in the first, and the dimwitted nurse spent more time worrying about when this dying woman has her last eye test than controlling her pain.

The second was a patient who could only say no and would say that when asked if he was thirsty. Died of dehydration.

You can count on it.

ummm spectacles for #1

and figure he'll get his own drink for #2

Lol.

I thought these were actually questions on the exam until I read your other post! I was thinking... what in the world???? I'm sorry to hear these were actual experience, some nurses are such schmucks.

Thanks for sharing your experience today, and we'll be so happy when you get your official results!
