... Read moreFor nursing students aiming to excel in clinical settings, mastering practical skills is crucial. Understanding procedures such as measuring a nasogastric (NG) tube is fundamental. This involves measuring from the client’s nose to their earlobe, then down to the xiphoid process (the bottom bone of the sternum) to ensure correct placement in the stomach and prevent complications. Marking the tube at this length with a Sharpie helps maintain accuracy during insertion. Beyond NG tube measurement, the comprehensive course covers a broad spectrum of nursing skills including wound care, catheter insertion, medication administration, and vital signs assessment. These hands-on skills enhance competency and confidence, preparing students for real-world clinical environments. Additionally, engaging with peer communities like #nursingstudents and #nursetok provides ongoing tips and support. These forums facilitate knowledge sharing, offering insights from fellow nursing students and professionals. Staying updated with trending techniques on platforms such as TikTok (#futurenursesoftiktok) also encourages innovative learning methods. Incorporating these essential nursing skills with strong theoretical knowledge ensures effective and safe client care. Archer Review’s immersive approach aims to bridge the gap between classroom study and clinical practice, equipping future nurses for successful healthcare careers.

An NCLEX clinical judgment question presents a 68-year-old patient with altered mental status, weakness, and specific lab results (low Sodium, low Magnesium). It asks to select all appropriate nursing actions from six options (A-F).

Electrolytes might sound like a basic review topic, but on the NCLEX - and in real clinical practice - they show up in critical moments. Two of the most important to understand are Sodium (Na⁺) and Magnesium (Mg²⁺). Why? Because when these values are off, your patient can go downhill fast. I
