[intensity_too]

I'm new here and full of curiosity, so excuse my "getting to know you" type questions.

I was wonder what material everyone is covering right now for those that began school this semester.

We're studying acid-base balance, electrolytes, and GI tract disorders.

What about you??

We just finished our first class 270 it covered Med Surg... Acid Base Electrolye Imbalances, GI system, GU sytems and Reproductive.

We are now in 271 and are covering PreOp,PostOP, Immunity, Endocrine and something else. We just took out first exam in 271 today over Operational stuff.

Our classes are broken down into basically 4 week segments. We have 3 exams and a comprehensive final. Next, we move on to OB in 273 I think.
