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
have an idea, let's somehow all form a NCLEX study group via the net and we can all put our heads together especially if we all have yahoo messenger and we can do conferencing. would be simple, any takers?
:igtsyt: Wanted to let everyone know I MADE IT - it is official - I'M an RN. Good luck to the rest of all of you and will keep those who are studying so hard to take the test and pass in my prayers. :clpty::dncgbby::dncgbby::dncgbby::tbsk::dancgrp::dancgrp::dancgrp::anpom::dncgcpd::dncgcpd:

Please don't give up hope. The way I studied was unusual because so many live with me - my daughters and their families move back in lol soooo I got up at 12 every night when everyone was asleep and studied while it was quiet. But in answer to your question - I took a Hurst review, studied saunders, kaplan and a HESI review and I went through every last note posted on here and put them in the category they belonged in. I read over each topic in each book, highlighted important things and then typed them so they would stick. For each illness I studied the medications given and the test, etc, but that is what was right for me. I prayed hard and even said a prayer before i started my test and with the good Lord's help I passed. Just remember this - God did not bring you through Nursing school if he didnt want you to be one. Keep the faith and I in turn will pray for you and anyone else who is attempting NCLEX. Thank you so much and remember - KEEP THE FAITH AND KNOW YOU CAN DO IT ! ! ! !
CO:yeah:NGRATULATION Hay it's fast that you got your result that soon ha?when did you get your result?And I hope you will continue to help us by posting some ideas....thanks dear...best of luck for your coming RN life...

HI mama ellis2many! I got a feeling that you passed the exam! You have studied so hard and with all your posts, I can say you have lots of knowledge!
I am still self-reviewing right now. I don't have enough money to get a Kaplan anymore (after I failed the fourth time! soooo frustrating!)
I just really pray that I can call myself an RN soon!
Same goes to all of us here! Goodluck to us all!
