I would focus on knowing the normal range for a CBC and a CMP, specifically electrolytes.

Digoxin and lithium levels, PT/PTT/INR, CBC & CMP, cholesterol (including HDL, LDL, and TG), ABGs. Don't forget normal VS for all age ranges, too.

I have them all (along with other stuff I'm studying for the NCLEX) on Post Its in my kitchen and bathroom, and take them down as I get the material down. I keep rotating them through different things, but I've kept up the lab values.
