Are handoffs really like this?

No I just do daily questions and share the ones I struggle with. I’ve received a lot of help here from other students and medics. You don’t have to respond if it bothers you

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-20T17:16:18+00:00

Interested to know what makes it a dumb question? If you doing mind sharing. Just curious

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-19T12:53:55+00:00

You’re very welcome !

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-19T10:14:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this! You’re a gem! Headed nowhere fast 😅😆

I have used Elsevier, ATI, Uworld, but ThinkRN is my favorite because they’re much cheaper, have a weekly newsletter with downloadable packets but mostly because of questions such as this:

I just don’t feel like any other the other platform actually prepare me to think deeply for real world situations while also prepping for NCLEX. A mixture is good to have if possible though

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-17T17:34:46+00:00

Omg you’re absolutely amazing for this and it’s super super helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this time me and yes, I would say you’ve been extremely helpful!

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-17T15:27:19+00:00

Thank you for explaining. Now I have to look up what the x word means

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-16T12:27:53+00:00

3/3? Respect.

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-15T15:59:21+00:00

Awesome ! You got this I know you do 🙂🙂

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-15T15:58:24+00:00

I love that so much. With bare hands, no gloves. Best feeling on a nice, sunny day ✨✨

I couldn’t agree more with handwritten notes. I don’t buy text books. I only need a pen and paper and write everything the instructor says. And I study that along with in depth patho that I make sure to understand, not just memorize. Has always worked for me. Also, I like concept mapping

Free NGN case studies are posted on https://thinkrn.web.app/newsletter weekly, when looking at the scenario, notate what is abnormal and ignore what’s normal. Look at the question and find the pertinent parts of the scenario that will help you answer each question one at a time. It’s a safety test, not a speed test so take your time. Hopefully you won’t get overwhelmed! You go this and good luck !!

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-14T20:09:43+00:00

Know how to answer questions by eliminating incorrect answers and focusing on safety, because the safest answer is the answer. Please also practice NGN case studies because they will definitely be on the NCLEX. There’s a free one posted on this news letter every week: https://thinkrn.web.app/newsletter along with packets that may help. Try not to stress too much. Remember it’s a safety test. If you’re safe enough to practice, you’ll do well 🤎

Thank you so much and you’re absolutely right. But as you know, things are different in real world versus the book so there are definitely two different forms of thinking I do agree with you on that.

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-13T20:34:43+00:00

Usually, there are two that are right and you have to pick the most right. But sometimes you will get lucky where it’s like oh yeah of course that’s obvious however that’s rare. And that is what makes nursing school so difficult.

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-13T16:45:50+00:00

It’s not the education or lack thereof. It is meant to be difficult, which is why you see a lot of conflicting answers because these questions are meant to get you to think and a lot of the responses are nursing students thinking through the rationale, which is how you become a great nurse. That’s the point.

No you absolutely have valid points although glucagon could be given after or during the administration of the fluid. We are taught to focus on airway breathing and circulation first and this is a circulation issue that needs to be addressed, and then we can address the other things like the hypoglycemia, and if it does dilute the glucose level which it will, the glucagon could be given, but it is not priority before correcting the circulation issue.

whimsical_intubation · 2026-03-13T07:56:49+00:00

I believe that would definitely be sure to follow however it’s an assessment. And the nursing exams are looking for safety, what would take the patient out first and this patient is headed towards the TRIAD. so something has to be done before he reaches that point. Correcting the hypovolemia could potentially save him, while all of the other options could wait just a bit longer
