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
This thread is fantastic and thanks to you guys, I am now an official RN!!! Good luck to the others who will be taking the NCLEX and I can truly say that this thread was a huge help! I hope this gets made a sticky to be passed on to others!
Congratulations. Wish me good luck. Testing this Thursday...
Do not obtain a throat culture if a child has acute epiglotis as it can cause an obstruction. Rule of nines, 9 = head, 18 = arms, 36 = torso, 36 =legs, and 1= perineum = 100%

Ditto! This thread helped me tremendously; especially with respect to Addison's and Cushings!
placing the patient on the left side blocks air away from the right ventricle--which in turn takes blood back to the circulatory system...and thats a no no...am i right?
pls check for accuracy
place patient on the left side so that the embolus will be trapped on the right and not go into pulmonary circulation, which will result in a more serious problem
If you suspect an air embolus you must put patient in Trendenlenberg and position patient on the LEFT side because you want the air embolus to trap/dissolve/disintegrate/burst/cease to exist in the RIGHT ATRIUM :) That's how I learned it!

There isn't just one or a list of diseases to know about. You may be tested on anything and everything. i know of people who have been tested on rare things like Kawasakis disease, myelograms (specific details about positioning), etc. I wish there was just a list that could be passed around, but then the NCLEX wouldn't be the NCLEX. I looked over major conditions and tests r/t each system of the body, but that is the best info I can give...sorry.

That's a $ 1,000,000 question... To be honest with you no one can give you a definitive answer. But most Med/surg books or NCLEX study guides books would list the most important you need to know. Try Saunders 3rd or 4th ed... They give you what you "just" need to know to pass the NCLEX!
:no:
