Course Lessons

Learning nursing lab values can feel intimidating – but you can do it.  In this course, we cover the MUST know nursing lab values and meanings behind each one to aid you in lab value interpretation.  This will help you to better implement your nursing judgement on the hospital floor and answer those tricky questions on nursing school exams and the NCLEX.

To help you stay organized, we’ve broken the course into several modules based on body system.  Why did we do this?  Well, when we run labs on patients, many times we are looking at specific disease processes in specific body systems.

As you work through the course, we encourage you to watch each video, review the study tools, and take the associated quizzes.
