i always love "footprints in the sand"...i was a lil girl when i first read it...that was when i was in 2nd grade...i was attached to it...and when i was preparing for my boards (took it last monday) i was listening to leona lewis song "footprints in the sand"...very inspirational...u guys might wanna check it out...just to relax:heartbeat

hehehe..nice choice of drugs melinurse..keep it up..very important one:up:

i know i wasn't the one being asked here but i have to share my opinion....yes...this thread does help...esp, knowing the disease that weren't common...i got two of those disease on my questions:stone

i found this thread 2 days b4...i started reading and i got addicted to it..lol...here's some stuff to remember: gtpal gravida- total number of pregnancies (aborted or alive) term- fullterm, pregnancies that reached 38weeks gest. para(preterm)- number of pregnancies that actaully reached 20-37th wks gest. aborted- number of pregnancies that didn't reached 20weeks gest...this could be either by option or by missed living - number of babies actually survive after all tha gravida ..(note that gravida could be a larger number than living children

whoaaaa! I feel u...I had my exam last Monday...I got 7 SATA...and most of those SATA were meds...1 drug calc...and priorities...my test was probably 50% meds:cry: ...and it stopped at 75...I'm still waiting on my result...i'm kinda nervous:confused:

I want to add this up to Melinurse's Blood transfusion..her version is really good, i just want to add some input =) * Hemolytic rxn (most dangerous) --> pain in lower back, N/V, hematuria --> D/C transfusion, open up the NS *Febrile rxn --> HA, fever, chills, nausea --> D/C transfusion, may give ASA *Allergic rxn --> urticaria, pruritis, fever --> D/c, give Benadryl, O2 *Fluid Overload --> D/c, HOB up, O2 ****for the most part of blood transfusion rxn, always open up the NS =)

Congrats on passing the test:yeah:

thanks, i haven't done anything since i got home but to look up on the questions that i thought I missed. Maybe, I should just start cleaning my house...to get my head off things. Anyways, thanks for the input =| I will wait till i get the result.

just like you guys, I just took my test and I somewhat don't know how to feel. They said that if it stop at 75 the good chances are there. But, in my case, I got about 7 SATA... so much meds that I haven't heard of. My test stopped at 75 but I'm pretty sure my I got the last question wrong. Now, the question is what are the chances of passing if ur last question is wrong? I guess, i just have to take it easy today and start studying again real soon =( Please, if anyone have an input on how's the chances are, i would appreciate it..thanks! and goodluck to us.

-kawasaki disease is seen more in asian kids under 5 yo..most s/sx are red eyes, soles and palms purple-red, fever, red, dry and cracked lips, may see rash all over the body. If left untreated, it will affect the heart. early treatment should be no more than 10 days of the s/sx appear. Md will tx it w/ gamma globulin. -Fifth disease is a skin rash caused by a virus...rash on face, arms, legs...s/sx fever, joint pain, anemia:) Goodluck to everyone!

I am taking mine this Monday...please...keep the prayers going and I will do the same...good luck!

to Joaniedee...yeah, i got that too...but according to kaplan, NCLEX follows the book and not the "real work place" ...what we have been thought at school (from Medsurg book: Ignatavicius) you slide the new one first then remove the old ties...I hope this helps =)
