I have found that I keep seeing some information over and over again. Here are some of them....
- Hot spot questions (valve locations, Erb's point)
- troponin is best indicator of MI
- lots of questions on hypER/hypOthyroidism (surgery, tx, s/sx)
- theophylline (weird, i know, but i have had a question on it for pretty much every practice test), therapeutic levels are 11-20 mcg/mL
- platelet levels (150k-400k)
- i wasn't prepared for all of the insulin questions (duration, peak, onset)
- 1 oz=30mL and 1tsp=5mL
- ABG values
- I read on the allnurses forum "RNs don't delegate what they can EAT (Evaluate, Assess, Teach)"
- Aluminum: constipation, Magneium: diarrhea
Here is a link to random facts to study for the nclex.....
If you have any to add, put them in the comments section.

a couple from Kaplan:
- With Maslow's hierarchy, physical beats psychosocial, and pain is consider psychosocial.
- In communication, don't ever ask "why?"
awesome.
Just a thought on the NCSBN review a question on Pt refusing meds and correct response was "Is there a particular reason why you don't want to take them?", so don't always throw out the why answers.
Yeah, I agree there will be exceptions to all the "rules," but look how hard they try to avoid coming straight out and asking why. "Is there a particular reason..."
