    I did not have many lab values. I would look over your basics like K, Na, Ca, Mg, Ect. I only had one question with values. Know what the patient looks like with low or high levels of each. Also, know hgb and hct.

    I also think that knowing dig blood levels and lithium blood levels would be helpful. I honestly feel that it's more on knowing the actual physical s/s that your patient can exhibit if they have high or low lab values. ABGs would also be good to know.

    Thanks everyone! How about child immunizations?

    I really haven't heard a lot about immunizations coming out in the NCLEX. As far as I can remember, mine didn't even have pediatric/maternal nursing. I could be wrong of course.

    Be sure to memorize INFECTION CONTROL procedures. What diseases need to be in contact/droplet/airborne precx.. Etc...

    No way to predict your questions so no way to advise you on this question. Suggest you get a good review book, Saunders Comprehensive Review comes to mind, and seriously study it. Good luck.
