A little anxiety is setting in.
What drugs MUST I know really well for NCLEX?
Beta Blockers
Calcium Channel Blockers
What else?
Also, what Labs values MUST I know well for NCLEX?
Electroytes, dig level, PT, PTT...what else?
Anyone else taking the exam tomorrow? :stone

Other things to know are Calcium 8.5-10.5, Sodium 135-145, Potassium 3.5-5, ABGs pH 7.35-7.45 CO2 35-45, HCO3 22-26, Blood Sugar 70-120, Dig Tox +2ng, CVP 3-11....just as important to know is what happens when these levels are too high or too low......look over antidepressants - MAOI, TCA, SSRI- which foods are contraindicated.....GOOD LUCK & TRY TO RELAX, I took the test 7/7 and found out yesterday I passed. Do Not REVIEW ANYMORE CONTENT!!!! I thought I failed too after I took the NCLEX, whatever you do RELAX and DO NOT RUSH...rationalize things out and if you dont know try Assessment 1st vs Implementation, Maslow's Hierchy physical 1st over psychosocial, and READ EACH QUESTION CAREFULLY!!!! THINK POSITIVELY AND WRITE OUT YOUR NAME and ADD RN to the END OF IT!!!!!!!!!!GOOD LUCK - YOU WILL DO GREAT!!!!

Goodluck Jen,

Every since I began posting on these message boards I have always seen you willing to help others with their problems, and always offering kind words of encouragment.

You're really involved in your nursing studies, and by the looks of what you say in your posts, you know your stuff!!!

Goodluck, I KNOW you will do fine!

Keep us posted!!!!
