Hi all, my name is Iisha, I am new to allnurses.com. Though I love and have viewed the site and member posts previous times, strangely Ive never thought of becoming a member until now... Anyhow, I have created a nursing LAB mnemonic that really helped me to remember my lab values. Ranges may vary depending on resource...HOPE IT HELPS!
MY LAB VALUE MNEMONIC:
I arrived in Cali at 8.6 oclock. Stepped out like I had won the 3.5 million jackpot, with my 105 bleached streaks, 2.5phos. eyelashes, and size 7-22buns.Let's just say that my daily diet of 6-8protein shakes, 70-110carbs, and 200total cholesterol helped contribute to my loosing 1,030 of specific gravity. It was now time to give em a 21 sec. - 2 min sneak PK of my newbumin body. As I exited the plane, I was swarmed by .6 creatures who thought that I had walked right out of the 1.2-2.5 Ebony magazine edition. They tried hitting on me 40-50 times and were all salty as I ignored all 145 of their comments. Then there was Bili, the only 1 who caught my eye, stepping out of his 100-190 powered LDH corvet. I starred, lost for words as he asked me 3.5-7.5 times if we could have lunch. I couldn't pass up this oppurtunity, I was almost 80 -100% sure that this was love at first sight.
After the tutorial, you're allowed to write down anything you want or need to. This strategy helps those who are concerned that after the barrage of questions and many various answers they won't be able to remember such things as lab values or details of the various insulins. Then, when your head is spinning you can refer to the white board for the information.
I know this is super old, but thanks, it is still helping ?
I am working hard to remember the lab values and some are really easy for me but others, I'm not as sure about - then test anxiety slips in... So this gives me a good idea of how to remember them.
Also, I like the story of Addison... I will probably use that as a memory aid as well!
