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

NY2008, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Having read your threads though I'm guessing you passed. If it is any consolation, we are here for you, think of us as your personal support team. So, I have a question for you. Were you more nervous actually taking the exam, or are you more nervous/anxious now while waiting for the results? My co-workers have already started placing bets on how neurotic I will be post-NCLEX!:chuckle They remember how awfully insane I was after I took my NCLEX-PN. At least I know they care, or they would not pick on me.:heartbeat
Oh, one more question, do you think this thread helped any----Yes!
Sorry,I didn't pass. I took it in June,13.It is a terrible test which made me crazy.
NY2008, sorry to hear that you did not pass this time. I will more than likely be in the same boat. My date is not till 2nd week of August and I am already a nervous mess. This site/thread is somewhat theraputic for me though. Any tips to help improve this thread so that others reading this can benefit? Obviously you can't say specifics. But, for example would including pathophysiology of stuff be of help, or would including more what to do as the nurse?
Just wanted to bump up this thread so it will be easier to find.
:typing I'll type in something later tonight. Does anyone have a few facts to throw regarding disaster planning, triage, etc? Tips on giving ear drops or administering eye drops?
So, I have a question for you. Were you more nervous actually taking the exam, or are you more nervous/anxious now while waiting for the results?
