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
Hi Istanbul, great information - thanks for posting!! When will you be sitting your exam?
Hi Marcy,
I took the exam first time in July 28th however I have not yet received the official results, still waiting for the 'snail' mail. I tried the pearsonvue's trick and I was able to go to the CC page:( Therefore, I think I couldn't pass and planning to take the exam in April again before my ATT expires in May. Because I live in Turkey I have to find an international testing site that is offering Nclex-rn in April. I know sounds a bit complicated:)

prado,
thank you thank you thank you for the great stuff you sent!
in the test result for glycosylated hemoglobin a1c,
----7% or less indicates good control,
---- 7% to 8% indicates fair control,
----8% or higher indicates poor control.
**this test measures the amount of glucose that has become permanently bound to the red blood cells from circulating glucose. elevations in the blood glucose level will cause elevations in the amount of glycosylation.
**thus, the test is useful in identifying clients who have periods of hyperglycemia that are undetected in other ways. elevations indicate continued need for teaching related to the prevention of hyperglycemic episodes.
Good luck, everyone!
