Turkeygirl Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 or anyone else for that matter... Any tips for studying and taking my state boards in nursing? I've mainly been doing 100 questions + a day....and trying to review some stuff....still waiting on the ATT number to come that lets me sign up for a date and location... Kinda scared and nervous about it:eek: Actually, even if I pass, I'm kinda scared about the whole nurse thing...so much responsibility...and people are so lawsuit happy with everything! I keep telling myself I can do it, I can do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'll tell you Ruth, I did the same thing you are doing. I got several NCLEX books from the library and went to the back of the chapters and took the tests. I then graded myself and studied up on the areas that I missed questions on. I will say that when I took my boards there were alot of questions pertaining to "which would you do first". Like: A. a 12 year old boy with a closed fracture of the radius. B. an 80 year old woman with abdominal pain. C. a 58 year old man with chest pain D. a 47 year old woman having trouble breathing Of course you would choose D. Always remember your ABC's. Some people might be inclined to answer C, but airway and breathing come before circulation. Don't worry that you are nervous. That is normal. And Ruth, don't let sue happy people keep you from your dream. There are alot more people out there that need caring compassionate nurses than there are people waiting to sue you. Remember your good samaritan laws that protect you. Good luck to you. I have no doubts that you can do it. Catrina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
