   Thanks! I think I understand the mechanism more now.

2. Symptom of hypernatremia/Quick question.

   anonymousandy posted a topic in Student Assist

   Can hypovolemia/hypernatremia cause polyuria? I want to say it can because the kidney would recognize a high level of Na rather than a low level of H20, but I'm not sure... A practice quiz just said that was wrong, but I don't know if it was just n...

3. Not sure about nursing

   anonymousandy replied to anonymousandy's topic in Student Assist

   2. The list of topics is really long, but I've got most of it down. The last ones are: Oxygenation, I/O, Incontinence, Delegation, Community Nursing, Postmortem care, HIPAA and other legal stuff, Communication w/ special needs patients, Different n...

4. Not sure about nursing

   anonymousandy replied to anonymousandy's topic in Student Assist

   Yes, it's an integrated program. I guess the idea of knowing something superficially and then going to the nursing homes to participate in treatment scares me, and I get overwhelmed. My grades are still adequate [i'll be making Bs this semester ins...

5. Not sure about nursing

   anonymousandy posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hey all, I'm in my first semester of nursing school and I'm starting to feel a bit hesitant about the program. Everything started fine. I got A's on my first couple rounds of tests, but now they're starting to plummet to C's [this is abnormal for m...

6. So how is everyone doing in A&P 1 this Semester?

   anonymousandy replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I go to a public research university. There's a lot of material that she covers in class, but the lecture exams are multiple choice, so if you're fuzzy on some of the material you have the comfort of being able to eliminate wrong answers. I'd PM yo...

8. Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

   anonymousandy replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in A&P right now. From what my professor's said, the class is going to get more and more difficult, but we've also lucked out with her because she holds study sessions outside of class on her own time (they're SO helpful). During one of the...

9. Ambien psychosis?

   anonymousandy replied to Cat_RN's topic in Medications

   I took Ambien once, and didn't sleep. It was as if I were dreaming reality, and I remember the events as if it were a dream as well (i.e. clips and phrases). Never took it again, but if you look at it like that I think these aforementioned behavior...

10. Weird lab vibes

    anonymousandy replied to tdobczyk's topic in Male Students

    I don't know about immediately ameliorating the problem, but I suggest studying hard, scoring really well (beat them) on the next exam/practical, and "accidentally" let them know that you did well. They'll probably bring you into the fold because yo...

11. Black scrubs?

    anonymousandy replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Black looks professional/serious, and can be off-set with a contrasting undershirt to add a little color. The skeletons would do just the opposite for me. If I were a patient, it would be like having a piece of fabric taunting me, saying, "Hey, dea...
