Make up a mnemonic for yourself. For lab values, learn one value, then something out of the range will show up.

I found these threads:

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/infection-control-mnemonics-299890.html

you can search the nclex forum for the specific tricks and mnemonics you need. So many have been posted in this forum.

In my case, what i did was i wrote each lab value in a flash card and wrote down what the following:

1) the normal value

2) indication if it is high

3) indication if it is low

that means I am not simply memorizing it but i am also trying to understand what is the significance of each lab value. This will also help you analyze the problems presented in the nclex questions you encounter.

hope this helps! Good luck!!!!:clown:

you should seriously check out this program:

Welcome to the Mnemosyne Project | The Mnemosyne Project

Type in the stuff you want to memorize. It asks you how well you know the stuff and shows the cards to you of the stuff you don't know more often, till you know it. It's really great.
