1. Nursing Pathophysiology Resource Recommendations

   js2016 replied to js2016's topic in General Students

   I have the coloring book (lots of fun!), and will definitely check out the Guyton & Hall textbook. I haven't really thought that I did as bad on the pathophysiology for my care plans (or the nursing diagnoses and interventions) when compared to h...

2. Lab Value Implications Resource Recommendations

   js2016 replied to js2016's topic in General Students

   I already have an old one I put together using my textbook, but it needs revision. I'm in an accelerated program and legitimately do not have time to re-do the quick reference guides I have already made. I'm looking for something that I can keep in m...

3. Lab Value Implications Resource Recommendations

   js2016 posted a topic in General Students

6. IV Math Calculations

   js2016 replied to js2016's topic in General Students

   What's throwing me off is the extra 10mL, and I cant seem to find an explanation on it in my book. ...So do I find how many of the 10mL's will equal 0.9g? Like this: [2 g / 10 mL] = [0.9 g / (x) mL] = 4.5 mL Is that what you mean? Then: 75 mL + 4.5 m...

8. Acid-Base Explanation Needed

   js2016 replied to js2016's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you for all the explanations! I turned my assignment in before seeing any of these. I tried to explain what I thought was going on with the patient the best I could, but learning these ABGs is a hard concept to grasp. This particular patient wa...

9. Acid-Base Explanation Needed

   js2016 replied to js2016's topic in Student Assist

   I think he's got compensated respiratory acidosis, but I do not quite grasp the understanding of whether it's true respiratory acidosis, why it's considered compensated, and if it is, does that mean it could potentially be metabolic alkalosis? He's a...

    I am doing a care plan on a patient who has a rather complex set of lab values (at least to me). I need help understanding how to interpret these lab values. Here are his values: pH: 7.36 pCO2: 48 (High) pO2: 141 (High) HCO3: 27.1 Anion: 7 Na: 135 Cl...

    I will contact them tomorrow just to explore how their program is set up. I could not be more disappointed in the UA MEPN program.

13. UA MEPN 2016

    js2016 replied to Crimsonstarr's topic in Arizona

    Thank you SO much for sharing this information! The MEPN program should be classified as academic malpractice. Simply put, their methods are negligent. How long did it take you to get in to CEP program?

14. Best Way to Study Pharmacology

    js2016 posted a topic in General Students

    I am a student in an accelerated nursing program. I just completed the first level, and it was super hard! The hardest part about it for me was not necessarily the content, but the lack of organization in the program structure. We did not really get ...
