The Borders near me has been out of that book...I guess I'll check one more time since my test is Thursday.
Someone just gave me this from the Mark Klemek book someone handed down to her:
Rule #1 for prioritization:
Acute MI vs. DM
Cirrhosis vs. Hepatitis
Acute Pacreatitis vs. Angina Pectoris (Chronic)
Exacerbation COPD vs. CHF
Rule #2 Fresh Post Op beats medical and other surgical (first 12 hours)
Rule #3 Stable vs. Unstable...
Unstable...acute or exacerbated...post op
Highest priority is patien twho has largest change in shortest period.
Trumps by definition: hypoglycemia, hemorrhaging/shock, head injury (new, pulseless or breathless or R
When there's a tie, ABC's.
#4 - The more vital the organ, the higher the priority. If unstable, Maslow's.
Brain
Lung
Heart
Liver
Kidney
Pancrea
After that, doesn't matter.
Remember, important is iforgan affected by condition, not organ effected by the disease. Last, who will die first?
My trouble area is triage...the program I went to didn't teach it at all in med surg, never had a word of it before Hesi, and only got some in Community but very wish-washy. I struggle with that. Well, I wish I had that prioritization book to practice what I was given (above).

hi congrats and thank you for sharing. im testing on friday, but i've read the book the you have mentioned 3 weeks ago, and only read the first part, only the multiple choices part.im only scoring high half to 60%. did you finished the entire book? thanks. i didn't read the last part because i focused on saunders.:) but now that you say so, i think i would brush up again to that book.
def keep doing the book i mentioned. it is better than saunders, it was more accurate to what the test was actually like, for me anyways!
I guess it was easier the second time, since I passed! haha Good idea taking it somewhere different, you won't get psyched out at all. Just keep studying, and relax the day before and you'll be fine!
I realized last night that I had that delegation book all along...I'm a nut...kid you not, I have every book known to mankind in this house. I narrowed it to a few and packed up the rest for someone else to use (see my faith, ha!!!).
If the real test questions are like the LaCharity book, then the nclex seems reasonable?????????? I don't think they're terribly unreasonable, although there are some up for debate or perhaps it's wording for those delegation questions.
Oh well, 2 more days to bathe in nclex preparation. I'm SO ready to dry out from this stuff!!!!!!!!
