Information needed from CSN students that just finished 115

Published

I am going into 115 next semester. I'm looking for anyone that just finished 115 that can tell me the first few chapters to read or has a syllabus. I will be going on a 14 hour trip and would like get a head start. Thanks!

I just finished 115 and I believe the first lecture was chapters 16, 17, 18 (pre-op, intraoperative and post op stuff), that stuff is pretty simple, also get started on chapter 13 (fluid and electrolytes), as that's a major part and can be quite difficult to comprehend all of the information.

Thanks AussieAndy for the info. Yeah, fluid and electrolytes were challenging last semester. Anything that comes to mind that I need to watch out for in 115 or 243 other than dosage calc test on the first day of clinical? Any suggestions would be great.

what you need to know for fluid and electrolytes in 115 is way more in depth then first semester so thats def a good thing to get started on. i don't know how you went with the textbook reading in first semester but even with 115 as my only class (i took 243 over the summer) it was pretty much impossible to do all the reading, unless you love reading and can spend hours focusing to get it done lol. Not much else comes to mind except to stay on top of your clinical assignments in both classes as there is a fair amount of them.
