6. In the development of Individualized Healthcare Plans (IHPsI H Ps), school nurses carry out comprehensive assessments of students. Nurses review past and current educational and medical records, interview family members and primary care providers, complete physical examinations, and evaluate self-care skills and needs. Which of the following additional types of assessment would be most useful in developing an IHPI H P that addresses the educational implications of a student's health impairment?
19. The school nurse checks the emergency care plan (ECPE C P) on file that outlines steps to take if the student exhibits signs of hypoglycemia. According to current standards of school nursing practice, which of the following actions is most appropriate to take first in response to a hypoglycemic reaction in a conscious student?
I am a new nursing student. I just started about six weeks ago. I am really having a hard time with the nursing exams...we have only had one so far and I scored a 69. Anything below an 80 is an F. Of course I cant make it up or retake it so now Im going to have to score pretty high on the rest to compensate for that. I think I just really did not know what to expect. Nursing exam questions are completely different than any I have ever encountered. I don't exactly know how to eliminate the wrong answers when two or three out of the four could be correct. I have been utterly devestated...its taken a toll on my confidence I worked extremely hard for two years to be accepted into this program and now I am doubting my abilities. I spoke to my teacher and she even brought up withdrawing depending on how I did on the next test. This made me feel even worse. Its so bad because I studied and studied for this test! I need to do alot better on the next one which is in about two weeks. Can anyone give me some tips on how to answer these questions and bring my grade up/reduce my test anxiety? I really want very much to be a nurse and to make it through this program. I feel I have come to far for it to all be ruined over one test. I need to figure out what Im doing wrong.
Hang in there, it is definitely an adjustment! I agree with the previous posters about Maslow and the ABC's. I always follow that! What I also found helpful was doing lots of practice questions in NCLEX books, the ones that give you the rationales. I think the more you practice the critical thinking nursing questions, the better off you will be.
I did a lot of NCLEX practice questions and the questions in the back of the chapters. I didn't get to get through all chapters involved due to an insane work week, but squeaked out a solid B. There is an iTunes app through lippencot that you can set up NCLEX quizzes up based off of what you have covered already. I used that every time I wasn't in apposition to actually write out answers. Maybe this will help you too?
This is advice I give to people about to take NCLEX, the licensure exam. Read it anyway, because it addresses a lot of your concerns about nursing school tests being different from any you have taken before. You're right. They are. That's because in addition to knowing the right answer, you have to apply critical thinking to pick the BEST answer. This is a huge part of nursing education, to get you to think a lot about problems and situations, not just know that A+B=C.
Feel free to ask me about any questions and I or any of the people here can help you to understand why the answers are what they. If you do not find out why your getting things wrong, which means you are not understanding a concept correctly, you will just continue to get answers wrong.
I use the Success series book to practice for my tests. I like these books because there's one for every subject: med surg success, maternity, pharm success... They divide everything into chapters and you get a fair amount of practice questions in the book and most of them come with a CD with lots of extra questions. Also, if your book comes with an internet resource website (like Evolve) then check it out because you can usually find NCLEX style quizzes that you can use to practice. It may be difficult at the beginning and you may get most of the questions wrong even though you study and understand the material, but keep practicing because it will eventually get better. Always read the rationales for the answers no matter if you got the questions wrong or right. Try to understand why an answer is more correct than the others and why some of them seem to be correct even though they are totally wrong. After much practicing you'll start to think critically without even noticing it!. Good luck :)
However, each program (e.g. undergrad nursing program, medical school, etc.) has a different test type. If you are applying to more than one type of program (i.e. you are applying to nursing and to med school) you must take each test type for that program.
Our 1-on-1 Youth Coaching fills that gap that most high schools miss. We can help you build self-awareness through probing questions and assessments, set bigger goals to elevate your extracurriculars and future career plans, and improve skills that matter on supplementary applications, such as interviewing, written communication, critical thinking, and creativity.
To help you prepare, we asked Laurie G. Combe, MN, RN, NCSN, president of the National Association of School Nurses, to share her insights on the types of questions school nurses typically encounter in job interviews.
To learn about the realities of school nursing and make sure that you fully grasp the mission behind the position, visit www.nasn.org and The Framework for 21st Century School Nursing PracticeTM. Many nurses fail to understand the unique, complex role of the school nurse, so doing your research ahead of time can set you apart.

Wondering which nursing interview questions you might be asked at your next job interview? You've come to the right place. Read on for the top nursing interview questions and answers to help you nail that next interview.
After nursing school graduation, The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is the final step in the academic process of becoming a nurse. For 2023 graduates and beyond, they will take the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN).
This is determined by the program to which you are applying. Most programs require at least a 16, but we have seen some schools set the cut off as high as 30. Again, a score of 30 means you would have to answer 30 questions correct.
If you have already failed the test once or even twice, please do not be hard on yourself! You are in the same boat as a lot of the other people reading this page. This is a tricky exam that does not test how smart you are or what you learned in high school. It simply tests whether you have reviewed the right material (see our Wonderlic strategies below) and practiced with lots of highly realistic practice questions.
Many of the questions are multiple choice. If you are struggling on a multiple choice question, try eliminating answers that you know are wrong and then guess from the remaining answer choices. This will dramatically increase your chances of guessing the correct answer and improving your score.
Please note: the School of Nursing does not offer transcript review, counseling, or advising for prospective students - we can only answer questions about the nursing program and/or the application process.
There is no priority given to CSULB Pre-Nursing majors when applying to the School of Nursing - all applications are scored and ranked amongst the entire applicant pool (made up of current undergraduate pre-nursing students, undergraduate transfers from other schools, and second-degree BSN applicants).
We have an abundance of unique clinical placements that provide diverse opportunities for our equally diverse student population. The wide array of clinical experiences in high quality clinical settings are a part of our core nursing classes. The clinical sites provide hands-on experience caring for patients in different healthcare settings, like hospitals and clinics. At the start of clinical rotations, we provide a tour of the facility with a scavenger hunt to help students get comfortable with the floor and locate supplies, emergency equipment, and rooms on the floor. The pre-conference is a recurring team meeting with the instructor and other nursing students before the shift begins. Typically, this is when we discuss your plan for the day and answer any questions the students might have. Clinical shifts can vary depending on the setting and skills will depend on the course. The clinical nursing instructor checks in with the student nurse periodically throughout the shift and answers any questions. Post-conference meetings occur at the end of the shift. The clinical instructor may use this opportunity to ask questions that prompt critical thinking such as: Why was your patient admitted to the hospital? Which medications were your patients taking? What nursing interventions did you perform? Many nursing students find that clinicals help them determine what area of nursing they want to choose as their specialty. Nursing clinicals take place in a variety of medical settings so student nurses can experience as many types of positions as possible. Each daily clinical shift is usually scheduled for eight to 12 hours so students can get the experience of full-time nursing. These long hours allow the experience of different patient needs at different hours and learn methods of managing the physical and emotional stress of nursing. They begin in our first semester and continue through the end of our program.
