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

hello prado,

I failed 3 times til I took Kaplan.. it is expensive $499.. But what I got out of it.. Is not just taking questions which you have to do so you have your stamina to take 265 questions in 5 hours but to have a strategy on how to take the test. It is skills on test taking not memorizing facts, or neumonics. the only thing you should memorize is all lab values. U can't memorize test questions, so when you learn simple things like only a RN can take a newly admitted patient (Which I thought LVNs always got, cause I was a LVN and they gave me all the newly admitted patients all night) hehehe.. but remember and this is why I failed 3 times.. Don't use the real world experiences..
They say don't delay right after graduation.. So really this stuff is in your head from nursing school. You should brush up on your test taking skills, stamina, and this test is not your nursing school teachers test that told you to study this and that.. But timing is within 6 months. I highly recommend kaplan online or classroom prep..
