April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

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:

SASH or Slush something like that

To those who already took the test, do we need to memorize ALL the laboratory values or just the basic?

I saw a list of the lab values that you are supposed to know in the NCLEX bulletin, just the basics...

Hi Chichi,

Why would you position someone with infratentorial surgery post op in flat and lateral? thnks

people who have undergone any cranial surgery are positioned flat in bed to prevent increased intracranial pressure :)

Grrrr. We are about to kill our patient positioning flat? hE he. Like for supratentorial u position them 45 degree head of the bed elevated to decrease ICP. R u sure by positioning flat it's going to lower the ICP? I thought semifowler lowered the ICP :nuke:

Like u know these tentorial surgery (supra and infra are both head surgery ... and they aren't even that further apart, where they do the surgery, I think ... I'm wondering why they would suggest different position for each surgeries. Semifowlder for supratentorial surgery made sense to reduce ICP, left and flat for infratentorial surgery didn't make sense to me.

Hm.... flat position will not bring down ICP init Chichi? Am I missing something? Big thank you :icon_hug:

Also in CPR: what would you do first if you are all by yourself in the room when you found the pt. unconscious. First press the code button OR start with Ur ABC CPR asap?

i think you have to press code button first, meaning you are asking for help...the reason is that if you do the CPR alone and you get exhausted, who will continue to resucitate the patient?
