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

Took the NCLEX Tuesday and still waiting for the results. If I didn't pass, how will I know?
Or better yet after the time frame of looking on Ca Bon for the results, do they only send via regular mail if I have failed??
Thanks,
PiscesMama
If you have SSN then you can see your name on website anything from 3-10 days and sometimes longer, depends if your file is complete as Ca will allow you to sit even if file isn't. If no SSN then have to wait for snail mail
When performing a differential, a lab worker looks at the various cells under a microscope. A differential provides information about the relative numbers (that is, the percentage) of each type of WBC. Such information helps the doctor determine whether an illness is caused by bacteria, a virus, or leukemia. A differential can be used to monitor patients with allergies and to determine how a patient is recovering from an illness or responding to therapy.
Neutrophils are cells that protect the body from bacterial infections. They move toward bacteria and then swallow them up so the bacteria cannot harm the body.
Lymphocytesare cells that protect the body againstviruses, bacteria, and fungi. One type of lymphocyte (B-cell) produces antibodies that attack and destroy the bacteria and viruses. Another type of
lymphocyte (T-cell) can directly attack viruses and bacteria and can stimulate the B-cells to produce antibodies.
Monocytes
are cells that consume dead or damaged cells. They are the "clean-up crew."
Eosinophils are cells that kill parasites and contribute to allergic reactions.
Basophils
are cells that release histamines during allergic reactions.
poisoning with certain substances, such as ethanol (the alcohol in alcoholic beverages), rubbing alcohol (isopropanol), wood alcohol (methanol), or antifreeze (ethylene glycol).
a rare disease, such as diabetes insipidus, that causes the kidneys to produce large amounts of urine.
low values
low serum osmolality levels may be caused by:
too much water in the body (overhydration).
a low level of salt in the blood.
overproduction of antidiuretic hormone (adh) that may occur with some diseases, such as lung cancer.
