I believe that the comprehensive predictor was reflective of the work that I put in this year to prepare for NCLEX. I believe that with some more work to study put in this summer I will confidently be able to say that I will pass the NCLEX. I took enough time on each question and didnt take too long because I was well under 3 hours with 30 minutes left to spare. There are definitely some areas that I need…
I feel like I did well recalling broad topics from the pediatrics course with this practice exam. I feel as if I could do better with recall of specific topics. There was a lot that we have not covered at all in class on this CAT so I definitely will be focusing on this area during my NCLEX prep post graduation and during the NCLEX live review session tomorrow and Saturday. I feel as if I took enough time on…
Throughout the gerontology course I have learned through the lifebook project and through classroom instruction the importance of therapeutic reminiscence as a tool that we can use as nurses with our patients. It can be so helpful emotionally for a patient to think through their lives and remember how things were. It provides them with the opportunity to feel emotions that they have not experienced in a long time which proves to be cathartic through them. Learning about therapeutic reminiscence…
I used my individual profiles for each ATI assessment to improve outcomes by testing slower and reading more thoroughly through the questions and answers. I would make sure to go through the question several times if I did not understand it at first. I did not change my testing environment too much, just made sure I was in my own quiet space each time. ATI assessments allowed me to see where my knowledge deficits lied. In my pediatrics classes I…
I feel like I did very well on this second practice assessment as my score was a 76%, much better than what I was expecting. I am starting to feel a lot more confident about NCLEX content after all of the practice we have done this year and are continuing to do all the way up until our last day of nursing school. I feel overall more comfortable with the information this time around and took the time I needed…
For the first comprehensive predictor practice I believe that I could have taken longer to answer the questions as I took less than 3 hours to complete the exam. This could have benefitted me as I could have considered the implications of each answer more thoroughly in the context of the question. Another area that could have been improved was my focus. I often have trouble focusing through long exams and noticed that there were a series of questions in…
I believe that this assessment went well as I scored a level 2 and scored pretty well above the national average which made me feel more confident about the information that I know. It also helped to underscore some areas that I will need to pay more attention to while preparing for NCLEX this summer. I believe I finished and took the appropriate amount of time finishing in 65 out of the prescribed 70 minutes. I believe I took an…
This assessment did not go as well as practice A primarily because it had some different meds that I could not remember specific information for. Again this assessment was helpful because it prompted me to review these medications so that I am better prepared for practice as well as for the NCLEX. I feel as if I also spent enough time on this assessment and may have taken a little too long answering the questions because it is information that…
Pharmacology practice A went well. I believe that I demonstrated my knowledge accurately and am happy to have done it prior to the proctored. I feel as if this was a great way to review drugs that I haven’t seen in a while and a great opportunity to learn about drugs that will most likely be on NCLEX but have not yet seen in practice. I feel as if there were patterns. For example I answered two questions about ciprofloxacin…
