Every physiological process that I was iffy on, but had to keep going for the next exam. Surprise, they're all back to haunt me in nursing school! This is your chance to brush up on anything that ever gave you trouble.

I definitely wouldn't retake math or A&P; we were given brief reviews of each body system as we learned about pathological processes.

Personally, I would take medical Spanish or phlebotomy. Either that, or a film, art or literature class. It will be your last chance for fun for a long time. :)

Fluids and electrolytes, acid-base balance, med surg. You have a good opportunity to read up on these subjects.

pharmacology

[queenjean]

1) Spanish

2) Pharmacology

[NurseLoveJoy88, ASN, RN]

Fluids and Elytes, Druc Calc( I did this), and study a little bit more of your AP.

Also, get a head start and buy an nclex book.

a&p and pharm definitely. also, lab values

[benegesserit]

An useful foreign language. Spanish, in my area. Preferably a medical-language oriented class.

I did take pharmacology and pathophysiology, which weren't required prerequisites for the program I got into, and I think they were useful.

What textbook should I order to read up on fluid, electrolytes, lab values, etc.

Thanks!!
