I tested this past March, but there is no way to determine specifically what diseases and medications, etc you will be tested on. The test is very RANDOM and every test is different. There is no way you can know everything but just study and prepare the best you can and it should be ok. Good luck.
Thank you.
also if you follow the "random facts" thread under the nclex discussion forum it will really help. loads of information!! :)

although i have not yet tested, i have spoken to a few at work who have. they for the most part had questions on common diseases and the care involved, pharmacology ( usually ones they had not heard of ), prioritization, delegation, one had a couple of questions regarding rare diseases and the tx for them. nclex, they all agree is 100% random, i.e. anything goes! the random facts thread is pretty good for some tips. be sure to add a few of your own, too.:heartbeat

Infection control, yes. I got no diabetes or Lupus. I got a ton of MS and a ton of infection control. Lots of SATA.

No disease processes per se. I did have a ton of infection control.
I know for a fact I didn't get one question on Lupus. I did get a question that was somewhat indicating diabetes (it was a hypoglycemic question) but it didn't specify diabetes as a disease the pt had.
Most of my questions were priority (who would you see first, who would you treat first) and infection control. Oh I did get some odd ball ones about cultural practices. But not the common ones taught in school, some really odd obscure ones that I had no idea.
Thank you all.
