    Does anyone have a list of tests and lab values to study for NCLEX? How much different will this info be between PN and RN? More in depth knowledge for RN? I'm trying to get organized for studying but it seems so close now and I'm on the verge of freaking out!!!

    Just took NCLEX Thursday. 75 questions. I only had one lab value question about calcium. Take a deep breath. You can do this. Good luck!

    Don't freak out. just stay calm and relax. i know it's easier said than done... cuz i too was freaking out before taking the nclex.

    anyways i only had one lab value as well... Potassium.

    However, these were the values that i studied:

    ABGs
    BUN & Cr
    H&H, RBC, WBC, PLT
    Electrolytes: Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus
    Therapeutic levels of Dig, Theophylline, and Lithium.

    i hope this helps. good luck!

    Thanks, I guess I just needed some reassurance.
