Per the request of janina08 ;) I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :) :nurse:

I'm testing in April, 8 years after graduation. Call me crazy. People have.:bugeyes:

Anyways, I've been studying since June 07. I started with the Saunders book and read it all. I'm halfway through the CD Q's in Study mode. I also did the NCSBN review which I did like. I read the Kaplan's strategy book and found some of their strategies confusing and their Q's a bit hard. Needless to say, I'm sticking to Saunders.

Best of luck to everybody!

I posted this on another thread, but I think everyone here could benefit from it too. :)

There is a nice mnemonic device that I learned in school:

R : Respiratory

O: Opposite

M: Metabolic

E: Equal

This means that if the values for the pH and CO2 go in opposite directions (if pH is low and CO2 is high) then it is of a respiratory nature.

Now, if the values of the pH and HCO3 go the same way (meaning that if the pH is low and the HCO3 is low as well) then it is of a metabolic nature.

This helped me a lot while I was in school. Hope it helps everyone!
