In taking this quiz I realized that I need to brush up on my medication knowledge. A lot of this exam was drugs and their adverse affects which is where I got most wrong. I felt like a lot of these drugs I had not even heard of before through UNE nursing which seemed concerning for me. Drugs are all memorization so I was able to see which drugs I need to make flashcards for. I found that the questions asking which side effect were the most relevant vs. the other possible side effects given were not beneficial to my learning. I eventually was getting frustrated but continued to pursue. I wanted to treat this as if it were the NCLEX so I knew what it would feel like to sit through possibly 265 questions. After clicking past question 75 I felt discouraged in myself and took a little breather but it was good to realize my grade does not reflect the number of questions I have to take!
It can be discouraging to see so many unfamiliar medications. Since these exams (and NCLEX) are reflective of practice across the country, and it is impossible to cover every single medication or condition in 4-5 semesters of nursing school, you will likely see unfamiliar topics. Trust the process, and you will be well-prepared for NCLEX.
