kids, with a few exceptions of the congenital problems and a handful of communicable infections like chickenpox and measles, get the same medical diseases that adults get. open and print out my critical thinking flow sheet for nursing students to help you learn all the things you need to know for these illnesses. use the pediatric weblinks listed on this sticky to help you find signs ans symptoms as well as information about the various diseases: https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/medical-disease-information-258109.html - medical disease information/treatment/procedures/test reference websites

i never memorized the diseases, but instead, read my lecture book, and then read the reviews and rationales book and that was my review, i would read read read and do questions on nclex books and that seemed to work.
