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
i will test on july 7 only 11 days to go...and i took kaplan live review, did all the q trainers and all the questions from the qbank, i am studying content from my weakest to strongest areas, and avg about 100 questions per day. i am using the illustrated study guide for the nclex rn by mosby mainly because i like the way its laid out (very colorful) with all the meds and dx tests with nur interventions included at the end of every chapter for that system. also i am using questions from mosbys q and a (the orange book), nclex-rn 4000 disk and this forum(its helpful in more ways than one). when i am in the car i carry around frye's 3300 nursing bullets. good luck to the all of you by the way!!
ps. i plan to go back and do qtrainer 6 and 7 because i heard its most like the real nclex questions.
Good luck Nicole! I'm sure you'll do well... I am taking the NCSBN online NCLEX review ($49/3 weeks), Saunders 3rd ed, Kaplan book (strategies), Nclex 3500 rn review software, the frye's 3000 nursing bullets, a Lippincot book, and few others... I am taking the test on July 17 (10 days after you...) I am getting confident day by day, but there are few areas that I still have to review. I am doing as many questions as I can, focusing on my weakest areas. I am hoping to get 75 questions, but I am ready for anything! Here in Chicago, you have to pass your boards before starting working! I'll be working in ICU pending that I pass the test...
Keep studying hard and let us know how the test went.
yes Epinephrine, because the client is still BREATHINg yet, this drug gonna give him direct help. then airway and O2..
Saunders 3rd ed talks about patent airway first then epinephrine... But the NCSBN Nclex review talks about giving epinephrine first THEN maintain a patent airway! The last option makes sense to me... Ciber-1 seems to think the same way. What do you think Nicole?

i would maintain an airway first (anticipate intubation) then epi....if you dont have an airway then what good is giving the epi.
