NCLEX tip number 10 for nursing school, of course, is to prioritize properly. You always, always, always. Every time you go to take a nursing school exam, you have to keep these things in mind. The ABCs, that is airway, breathing and circulation. Those are your first priority always to do. If one of those three things is not happening, my friend, it's bad news. Right? So airway, breathing and circulation. Make sure that the patient's airway is clear, their blood is circulating and their and they are breathing. So airway is clear, they're breathing and their blood is circulating. The Mousel's hierarchy of knees. You have to know this. So physiological needs come first. We want to solve those first. And then safety needs and then love and belonging, self esteem and then self actualization up that ladder. And then of course the nursing process. This one is huge. Make sure that you are always assessing your patient first before you do anything else. So next time you take your nursing school exam, keep these things in mind. You'll do great.
