PPE for the NCLEX: What Goes On and Comes Off First?

NCLEX in The Car ·

2026/10/04

Putting on personal protective equipment is only half the challenge—the NCLEX may also ask you which item should come off first. In this episode, we simplify PPE sequencing by focusing on contamination rather than pure memorization. Learn the basic order for gowns, masks, eye protection, and gloves, plus an easy way to reason through exam questions.

NCLEX in The Car ·

2026/09/20

The first 24 hours after a major burn are dominated by threats to airway, breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, and tissue perfusion. For the NCLEX, knowing the facts is not enough—you must recognize which finding requires action first. This guide focuses on inhalation injury, carbon-monoxide exposure, fluid resuscitation, burn depth, hypothermia, pain control, compartment syndrome, and infection risk. Clinical examples show how to distinguish an expected burn finding from an

Everybody's Anemic Until Proven Otherwise

2026/09/13

Your patient is tired, pale, and short of breath, and three different attendings have already blamed anxiety. They are all wrong.

This is the blood unit. Pay attention or don't, but somebody's oxygen delivery depends on it.
