Good Luck and God Bless on your exam! You'll pass!

Good Luck to both of you! You will pass! :-)

aashnu, I think when it comes to NCLEX, girls and boys feels the same nervousness. It is just that often time we boys can hide what we feels, but trust me, we are nervous too! But don't give in to that nervousness and fear! You prepared and did your best on this exam and prayed, YOU WILL PASS!!!

During my NCLEX test, Before I enter the room, I said a prayer and told myself that I WILL PASS! I did deep breathing to relax and took the test. If during the test I get stressed, I pause for a while, close my eyes and deep breath and tell my self I CAN DO THIS! I WILL PASS!.. when the computer prompted that I can take my break, I did took my break, went to the comfort room and talk to myself infront of the mirror. I said to my reflection on the mirror, "Get back there and answer the questions! You will Pass! You can make this!"

If at times, you get nervous, close your eyes and deep breath then tell yourself, "I CAN DO THIS! I WILL PASS!".

your welcome sunshine and aashnu!

You will pass!

Good Luck and God Bless! :-)

Thanks Rebecca (azlantinlady). Yes, i did enroll in NCSBN Online Review Class.

Pros:

• Provide comprehensive review materials
• Questions are challenging which will help students be familiar in answering NCLEX.
• Provides links to other helpful pages.
• Have a REJUVINATION PAGE which helps to relax and relieve stress.
• Price is very affordable compared to other review courses.
• Have online staff that are very helpful and knowledgeable whom you can ask questions.
• Have this great  student connection which you can exchange message with other students and staff
• This is a self-paced, self-led course. you can access it anytime you want during your subscription.

Cons:

• Don't contain strategies on HOW to answer the questions. (but you can search in the internet or ask someone here on the student connection or much better the NCSBN staff for help. The staff are great and they will always respond.)
• Don't contain videos and audios yet.

Susan and Andrea, the NCSBN staff can give more information regarding the NCSBN Online Review Page.

"Everything will be according to HIS will and plan..."

here is how i attack SATAs:

example:

A nurse is preparing to perform Mantoux skin test. Which interventions apply in relation to this test? Select All that Applies:

[   ] 1. Explain the procedure to the patient.

[   ] 2. Obtain a 3-mL syringe with a 1/2 inch needle

[   ] 3. Mark the test area to locate it for reading 48-72 hours after injection

[   ] 4. Ask the client about previous history of a positive purified protein derivative reaction.

.

.

What I do:  first i figure out what it is really asking. here, it is asking for interventions applicable for mantoux test.

then restate the question to a "yes/no format": "Is this intervention applicable in performing Mantoux Skin Test?"

.

.

then ask the question in each choices:

[   ] 1. Explain the procedure to the patient. >>> "Is this intervention applicable in performing Mantoux Skin Test?" >>> YES

[   ] 2. Obtain a 3-mL syringe with a 1/2 inch needle >> "Is this intervention applicable in performing Mantoux Skin Test?">> NO

[   ] 3. Mark the test area to locate it for reading 48-72 hours after injection>>> "Is this intervention applicable in performing Mantoux Skin Test?">>> YES

[   ] 4. Ask the client about previous history of a positive purified protein derivative reaction. >>> "Is this intervention applicable in performing Mantoux Skin Test?">> YES

.

.

If in a choice I answered Yes, I will click the box. I find it easier doing the SATAs this way.
