I'm taking the state nursing boards tomorrow to become a legit registered nurse. Four years of school being put to the ultimate test. Bright and early, have to be there at 7:30 AM. Ahhhh! I feel like the guy in my avatar!

JustAnotherAsian · 07-20-2009, 10:21 PM

good luck.

all you need to know is systolic and diastolic, and you're good to go! haha.

but really, good luck.

wait, what?

Sodium Duck · 07-20-2009, 10:36 PM

I shouldn't drop it in a sterile field, because then I would have to start all over again, doh!

If you were able to pass all the tests and classes already to get to this point....then you know your stuff. A good night's sleep will contribute to your doing your best....on a test that you already know the answers. Have confidence in yourself....your first answer is usually your best. If you have time review your answers....if you don't have a better one than you already marked on the test...then that's the correct answer!

Good luck!!!!

IllusionX · 07-20-2009, 11:19 PM

good luck buddy!

Memories...

I still remember going to Baltimore to get my FCC license, which I needed to graduate from Tech School.

We showed up at the Motel on the outskirts of Baltimore at roughly nightfall. Our neighbor, a "working girl" was being woken up by her "friend" at roughly the time all six of us checked in.

His wake up call was not terribly friendly though - "Wake the f--k up, Bitch!".

She was pretty, but had a busy night. We heard her going at it all night long.

We slept on towels on our beds after we discovered cockroaches in the Kleenex box. One of us, some degenerate, wanted to bring two working girls back to "play" with us. Forty bucks a piece. Everyone but two of us were flat broke, and we weren't sharing loot to acquire STDs. They went elsewhere to peddle their asses.

Next day we woke up bright and early, got an Egg McCoronary at the local McDeath, and went off to the tests.

We were given five hours. Only two of us gutted it out that long, me and some dude from the NSA (if you're reading this, Mike, howdy). The rest were done in four hours, some less.

One of the kids panicked, like you're doing Natria, and failed the test. We put him on "suicide watch" while we toured the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

If you get ready you'll be fine. If not you'll panic and perhaps crash and burn. You should know the material as a "second nature" by now, and all you need is some preparation by getting enough sleep.

Otherwise, well, you can take them again. Our suicide watch candidate did and graduated later on.

You're not going to die if you don't pass these things. So quit stressing out and get some sleep.

What's the difference between a Nurse and a Volkswagen?

Not everyone has ridden a Volkswagen.

Sodium Duck · 07-20-2009, 11:32 PM

The testing is done on a computer adaptive thing. It basically gives you an easy question and if you answer it right, it gives you increasingly harder ones -- then when it is satisfied you are consistently answering above a passing level, it shuts off.

So there is no going back and changing answers, you do one, then move onto the next! Grrr. Minimum 75 questions (technically 60 because they give 15 experimental, don't count type questions), maximum 200 something. But if you make it out to 200+, then the computer clears the slate and makes you start over for the last 50 or something questions, because at that point it can't tell if you're at a passing level since you would have been going up and down and up and down and it wouldn't have shut off.

cali yaris · 07-21-2009, 03:18 AM

you'll be fine, the more relaxed you are, the more you remember.

PETERPOOP · 07-21-2009, 03:21 AM

good luck! eat a good meal before the exam! don't puke or crap your pants.

Bob Dog · 07-21-2009, 08:28 AM

Inhaling deeply each time one feels a pang of anxiety during a major exam can do a great deal to relieve tension.

Revsson · 07-21-2009, 10:36 AM

By the time you read this, you will have taken the test. Hope you did well. Perhaps
you will find a hospital to work at that also has a Amateur radio setup in it, which could
work to your advantage on getting a job??
