OK I know this sounds stupid but I have a friend that gets really freaked out before big tests like finals, HESI, NCLEX, and usually we get together and a few days before I start throwing out random facts at her. On 2 different tests she said the only way she got several questions was from the random facts that I threw at her that she never would have thought of!
SOOOOO..... I thought that if yall wanted to do this we could get a thread going and try to throw out 5 random facts or "things to remember". NCLEX is coming and the more I try to review content the more I realize that I have forgotten so......here are my 5 random facts for ya:
OH and BTW these came from rationales in Kaplan or Saunders no made up stuff:
1️⃣ A kid with Hepatitis A can return to school 1 week within the onset of jaundice.
2️⃣ After a patient has dialysis they may have a slight fever...this is normal due to the fact that the dialysis solution is warmed by the machine.
3️⃣ Hyperkalemia presents on an EKG as tall peaked T-waves
4️⃣ The antidote for Mag Sulfate toxicity is ---Calcium Gluconate
5️⃣ Impetigo is a CONTAGEOUS skin disorder and the person needs to wash ALL linens and dishes seperate from the family. They also need to wash their hands frequently and avoid contact.
Oh, ohh, one more...
? Vasopressin is also known as antidiuretic hormone
]From what I understand the NCLEX can ask you anything, from the basics to advanced critical care. So I thought I would provide a few basics..............................................
]Develpmental Stages of the Infant in Utero
]-fertilized ovum, conception thru 2 wks
]-embryo, 2nd wk thru 8th wk. esp. vunerable to teratogens at this time
]-fetus, 8th week thru birth
]Membranes:
]chorion = outer
]amnion = inner
]Amniotic Fluid:
]protects fetus and allows freedom of movement, helps regulate temperature, oral fluid.
]It has an alkaline pH so when the membranes rupture it can be tested to see if urine or amniotic fluid.
]Umbilical Cord:
]Covered in Wharton's jelly. Think AVA = 2 arteries and 1 vein. No pain receptors here.
]Placenta:
]Passage of nutrients & wastes. Mom can pass on immunoglbulin G ( IgG ) to baby thru placenta for passive immunity.
]Remember to study a little of everything. Keep it well rounded. There is no way to know what is on the NCLEX so be ready for anything.
Well, took the NCLEX RN today, it's a doozie! I had 20-25 SATA's, a couple of delegation, quite a few prioritizing and mayb 6 infection control. 1 peds, 1 calculation (similiar to whats mentioned here previously) not too hard, 1 ob. I pray I passed. You leave their just not knowing:scrying:
:bow:You made it thru then exam and now is the really hard part, the wait. I am betting you did just fine. I'd seriously wonder if you said it was " a piece of cake ". Most people who feel like they failed or did not do well are the ones who have passed. 85% pass on first try. Cheer up, no use getting all worked up till you know for sure. Of course, I'll need some serious therapy after I take mine. :chuckle Good luck.

Good luck Nancy! It sounds like you did great. Best wishes and I am sure that your next posting would be to say that you passed. I never heard of anyone failing with 20-25 SATAs...
As we study, lets take a look at all possible side effects, not just the big ones that pop out at us.Lets look at TV commercial meds. Lets know a lil about qthing, cause anything and everything can be on that exam.A few of us took it today and psych wasn't much a part of it. And me being a Psychiatric Technican, I wanted psych:saint: Check out that Yale infection site.Awesome! And I need to stop looking up stuff, cause i'm finding out more than i'd like I didn't nail q s/s of a SATA. I swear! it's not fair! If I know 3 out of that 6 possible choices and missed one, I should get some credit, i'm just a beginner, how in the world can I know q lil thing!!! And the above mentioned facts are not coming straight from my exam, just in case big brother is watching:p
Of course, I'll need some serious therapy after I take mine. :chuckle Good luck.
