I think I would like the lab values and what the norms are and what the abnormals mean... Actually all of it would be nice, but especially the lab values..
We were having a hard time remembering the difference between hypo and hyperglycemia when we were in nursing school. Our instructor taught us this...."Hot and dry, sugar's high. Cold and clammy, need some candy." I know it's silly but it sure did help us back then.

I'm making some nice notecards for a friend who's just starting a nursing program.
What kind of info would you want in your pocket when at clinical?
Lab values?
Procedure details?
Assessment parameters?
The pt's 5 rights of meds?
This is kind of a welcome to nursing school present for her ...
Any suggestions?
