HELP-NCLEX Questions!
Hey there, would somebody that I emailed the NCLEX practice questions to please email them to my husbands email address?? CLDEY@pacbell.net My computer has major issues and I can't get to them after all of that :) AGH!
Friday, May 25, 2007
Congratulations! Now the NCLEX......
Your pinning ceremony was awesome, It made me tear up! You all did it, I am so proud of you all, congratulations. I took a bunch of pics too.
A word of advice,
try to take your NCLEX within a week or 2 of your review courses. Trust me. You really can't study for the NCLEX. You will see what I mean when you take it. The questions are really straight forward and easy to understand, it is the choices that are a little odd. Don't let that make you nervous though, I thought it was great and was bummed when it shut off. The tests that you have been getting the whole time throughout the program are harder than the NCLEX.
Remember that they are only testing you on entry level nursing, basic safety. It does not go very deep. A peds Q may not really be a peds Q. They may just be testing how you prioritize, or how you might critically think. They may throw in some diseases or meds you have never heard of in your life but they are not really checking out how much you know about the name they threw at you, they may be just checking out your ABCs or thoughts about how to keep someone safe.
Statistically speaking, the longer you wait the more freaked out you will get and the more basic info you will forget and you will put yourself at a higher risk of not passing.
The Davis NCLEX Qs on the CD are as about as close as you can get to how the NCLEX really looks. Practice enough to get comfortable with taking NCLEX tests on a computer if you have not been doing that already and then go for it.
It is normal to walk out of there feeling like you failed. The test is designed to make you feel
that way. That is actually a good sign. Most of us knew the results in a few days.
I took mine in SF. I stayed at the same motel that I stayed in for the NCLEX review. I took my husband and we went for a few days. We made a deal out of it. My rationing was, that no matter what, I am going to have a good time and reward myself and him for all of the stress caused by the program. We went a day early to find the testing site, ( at the bottom of Coit Tower) and to relax. The beach was 2 blocks from the motel. I walked on it the night before, saw the moon reflected on the water, heard the sounds of the water and birds, smelled the beachy smells and stored it all up in my memory in case I needed a place during the exam to mentally retreat to.
After the test we had a really good time in SF doing or not doing whatever we wanted to do. It was great! I highly recommend it.
If you have any Qs you can email me at bboss947@sbcglobal.net.
Good Luck. Enjoy!

3 DAYS !!
3 days....DAYS ???? Then what are we suppose to do with ourselves ?? :)
I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone and to say "thank you" for being the people that you are. Throughout the program we have kind of compared ourselves to other classess and I wanted to say thank you for being a class that I've been proud to be a part of. Some of you I haven't had rotations/classes with, but I know your face, and even a few names, and I'm honored to be associated with you. 3 DAYS ?! I can hardly believe it. I wish the best of life for all of us. WAY TO GO EVERYBODY!! 2007--simply the best!
(BTW-Wal-mart has "class of 2007" flip-flops... uh huh, I know you want some!)

NCLEX
You won't hear from the board until you schedule your exam, which happens after they recieve final transcripts when semester ends. Wait for a few days after finals and go to the pearson view website and register. You will then recieve an email, which is your authorization to test. But don't bother waiting for mail from the board or you will wait forever. It is frustrating not knowing if you did everthing right, but nobody from our class heard from them. You can check you IP status on the state board web site, some show up as early as the day after finals. Good Luck to everyone.
CAP QUESTION
Ok, this may be a very dumb question,... but I didn't go to any other capping/pinning so I don't have a clue. So, do we come with our caps already attached to our heads, or is that part of the ceremony?? How far back are we suppose to wear these ??(since some of us have large heads and are going to have to use a bazillion hair pins anyway)
My third question, I'm giving the nursing pledge, do I just stand up give the pledge & sit down? Do people repeat it with me? I don't know these major important things!!!!! Somebody have mercy on me & give me a clue.... I may start hearing voices with Lynn :)

Preceptors...Who were the good ones?
Hello again!
If you guys had a great experience with your preceptor I would like to know who they were and what you liked about him/her! Most of my experience had been at Dameron and one stint at Lodi so I haven't been exposed to many of the possible candidates. I've heard of a few, but I would appreciate any guidance you could share with me. It would be a great help. Thanks for anything you can provide! hcolern2b@gmail.com

Caps, Pins, and invitations
OK, can't seem to find anybody who knows anything about anything.... hmmmm. I guess we're getting ready to graduate :)
So, does anybody know When our caps come in? when we get the invitations to send out? When & how we order our pins?
I think that if I can take care of those details I may actually believe I might be graduating.... if not then it's a fabulous distraction !

BRN Application
Hi guys,
I have a quick question regarding our BRN application. Once we've completed the app and done the live scan and the picture, do we just mail everything with our checks or do we need to wait?????
I'm sure Mary explained everything in class but I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Hotels
Hi, I took it upon myself to sign up for a "hotels.com" kind of service and have received bids from several hotels. Currently the least expensive is Days Inn on Lombard Street. They are offering $69.00+tax per night on weekdays with up to 4 people per room.....(uh..that's about $20 a night if you have 4 people)....I have requested 10 rooms on this site and at Days Inn there is no deposit and we are not responsible for any unused rooms in the block. I've emailed the Days Inn on Sloat street (the one Kristine mentioned) to see if they will price-match the one on Lombard because it is a lot closer. (I have no idea about areas of SF and which ones are "shady" or not) There are about 15 other bids from other hotels at the moment. I would be happy to make arrangements for any number of people who would like me to--the whole group if need be. Any comments? Any suggestions? Anyone interested?

The Ocean Park Motel
Hi guys, I emailed the Ocean Park Motel to see what type of a discount they would give and he sent me back this nice email and I thought I'd pass it along.
Dear Robyn,
Thank you for your interest in the Ocean Park. Beginning June 3rd, we have a variety of rooms available. For the nurseing review, we are offering one queen for $90.00 plus tax, two queens for $135.00 plus tax and three queens for $165.00 plus tax. All our rooms are non-smoking and include a private bathroom with shower, color cable TV with HBO, fresh coffee service, free wireless and phone service, and free off-street parking. Rooms with two or more beds also include micro wave and fridge.
The Ocean Park is a lovely, family-style motel with two large gardens, a small children’s playground, and an outdoor jacuzzi for our guests. We are located in a quiet, very safe residential neighborhood south of Golden Gate Park, one block from the zoo and the ocean. A variety of excellent restaurants are a few minutes’ drive away, and a breakfast diner is just around the corner.
This is the very first motel built in San Francisco, in 1936. It opened just one month before the Golden Gate Bridge, in what was then the recreational area of the City — when Fisherman’s Wharf was still filled with fishing boats! It has a unique Art-Deco styling, and it has been in our family for more than thirty years. With twenty-four rooms and suites, the Ocean Park is ideal for families who welcome our quiet, garden surroundings and outdoor hot tub after the excitement of downtown attractions. About twenty minutes from the airport, downtown, or Fisherman’s Wharf, we have public transportation at our door, direct to downtown.
For reservations please call us directly at 415-566-7020. Alternatively, you could send a fax to 415-665-8959. We ask for a credit card number, including the expiration date and the cardholder’s name, billing address and phone number. Our cancellation policy is 48 hours notice. With a credit card guarantee, we will hold the room for you all night long, no matter when you arrive.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Marc Duffett

NCLEX Nursing Review at SFSU
I spoke on the phone with Sally Lagerquist, RN, MS who is the author/editor of Davis' NCLEX-RN Success, 2e book. She and various other nursing educators will be presenting a Nursing Review 4 day, 30 hour course on June 4, 5, 6 & 7, 2007, which will be hosted by SFSU Nursing in Knuth Hall SFSU. There is nearby motel/Inn discounts for nursing students if you tell them you are attending the Nursing Review.M. Lagerquist went on in great detail about the 99% passing success rate of this course and the various unique and funny styles used by the nursing educators to get the info across to us and into our (sometimes stubborn) heads. There will be lots of practice questions. This review is not about us reading books, but understanding the concepts and test skills and strategies to pass with flying colors. We will be given outlines for everything that is covered. No notes need to be taken.
The price is normally $275 per person. With a group of 10, the price will be $200 per person. After that the price is $275 per person regardless of group size. The price after 3/13/07 is $295. Then it goes up to $320 after 5/1/07.You can download the registration application.
Guys I really want all of us to go because I think it’s a fun way to end our class. After all we started together, let’s finish together. Everyone that I’ve talked to that attended this review class and have taken the boards have all passed.
Please post here or talk to me and let me know if anyone is interested.

Hey Guys,
I was thinking we should all try to wear the same scrubs for pinning so that we look “uniform” and I found some nice looking, reasonably priced scrubs at A1 scrubs .com. Here are the links, we can talk about it next class session and see if we all agree. The top is $20 and the pants are $17.

Hi everyone. I have asked for some advice regarding how we should go about chosing our speakers for our pinning. Upon great reflection, I feel that the most appropriate and fair way to go about it is like this....
A sign up sheet will go out next class session. If you are interested in speaking, place your name unto the area of interest. You will be asked to give a small presentation to our group, telling us why you would like this oppurtunity. Soon after, these names will go onto a voting paper the following week, and the speaker will be chosen through democratic representation of majority.
Does this sound fair to everyone? If you have any other suggestions, please let me know asap.
Thank you all...

NCLEX Questions
Hi Everybody,
Remember in the very first semester when we were given a website to access weekly NCLEX practice questions? I have saved almost all of the questions in a Word file. (about 18 pages) with answers. If you would like me to attach them to an email I would be happy to send them to you. Just email me and let me know: RobbyGirl1@mac.com
We're getting close guys! Can you believe it ???

NCLEX Watch
Hey you nursing seniors,
Keep your eyes on the NCLEX post on our blog if you want to get the low down on what it will be like. Kristine Cavanaugh took her test today and said that the format was just like the Davis NCLEX CD which is from Sally Lagerquist and the San Franciso Nursing Review, 4 day course that we just went to from the 9th to the 12th. I have heard this from other students who have taken their tests and passed. So get the Davis book and CD if you can and definitely go to the Review and practice session at the end of your semester.
See Christine Moles for more info.

TEST BANK AND RESOURCES FOR ALL SEMESTER NURSING STUDENTS
Keep checking for new Additions!
Our class test bank will continue to grow as we add more and more tests and quizzes.
Think NCLEX!Class test bank is sorted by systems, more or less. Good practice for all semesters. Please let me know on which subjects you would like to see more tests.

Question of the Week
Fern's Blog
Nursing Center
Nursing CEUs
Medical Learning Links
The (CEU) continuing education courses and tests do not cost anything. The prices that you see are for nurses who need the CEUs for credit. Look through the clinical topics and pick the subject that you feel you need to know more about or want to take a practice test to see if you really understand.
