Cushing vs Addison — don’t confuse this on NCLEX again! 🧠✨Remember: Cushing = HIGH | Addison = LOW

🔥 CUSHING’S = TOO MUCH! • Think: CUSHION = extra padding. • High cortisol, high BP, high sugar, high weight. • Moon face, buffalo hump, big belly, thin arms/legs. • NCLEX danger: Infection + skin breakdown. ⸻ 💧 ADDISON’S = TOO LITTLE! • Think: ADD hormones! • Low cortisol, low BP, low sugar, low sodium. • High potassium. • Bronze skin like a natural tan. • NCLEX danger: Addisonian crisis → shock! #NCLEX #NCLEXRN #NursingStudents #EndocrineNursing #CushingSyndrome #AddisonsDisease #NurseLife #RGNCLEXTalks #NursingReels #StudyNursing #FutureRN
