I'll pm you mscindyluv

I do! Send me a PM with your name and email address and I'll do it tonight!

I'm a relatively new nurse so I know I'm missing something. My dad has a hgb 10.6, he said his iron was really low but didn't ask exactly what it was. I only got the hgb level but bugging him. He has lost 10lbs over the summer but thought it was because he had been working outside a lot. He is weak, lightheaded, doe, and has palpitations after coming up 1 flight of stairs. He just turned 50 a month ago and is in relatively good shape with no PMH other than asthma. His father died of pulmonary fibrosis almost 2 years ago, he was diagnosed and died the same week. His grandfather and several uncles have had colon cancer. At the MD office his o2 sat was 98% after walking around the exterior of the building. Urine was good. The MD wanted 3 days of stool specimen to test for blood--which was negative. He said his stool stinks, he is nauseous, and at times his stomach hurts. Last night he ate spaghetti for dinner and was up all night with indigestion but didn't call me. I did finally talk him into going to see a doctor for an EGD, colonoscopy--he sees her tomorrow. All his family md did was tell him to have it done (after I already told him to schedule it) and call in some iron pills. He is under a lot of stress at work but never had an ulcer before. The only surgery he has ever had was spine surgery to remove a broken disc which was probably 15 years ago. What am I missing? I want to think its an ulcer but I know it could very well be colon or stomach cancer.

Tarro how was the stat. exam? I am so bad at math. I worked on statistics, struggled then gave up and moved on to something else!

I'm still working on biochem, I've turned in 3 tasks and almost done with the 4th task but work has been holding me back the last 2 days! lol I work on the tasks first and do research in the COS for the answer. Its so much reading/listening in the COS that we don't have to know to do the tasks so I'm trying not to waste a bunch of time.

I submitted 2 tasks for biochem today. 3 more to go. I hope to finish the rest tomorrow.

I'm going to be submitting hopefully two tasks in biochem today. So I submit all the assignments for the task in 1 taskstream submission?

I was thinking playdoh and toothpicks. I'm working on task 5 first--the lipids one.

Ill have to check into that book. I'm working on biochem right now, its not quite so bad! What kind of stuff did you use for your models? I have marshmallows and cotton balls. Perhaps I should just buy some playdoh.

Did you have to take it sweettart? I'm taking a few days off from that class and working on biochem.

Im stuck and ready to give up on my first class....statistics

My mentor just called about an hour ago. She said I was the only one in her group to finish EWB already so she called me first.

I haven't talked to my mentor yet either and I'm working tomorrow and probably tuesday so I won't be able to talk to her until Wednesday!

I started Biochem this morning and have been working on it most of the day, I just finish the carbohydrates part. It is so boring. If the rest of my classes are this boring I might never finish. I've taken lots of notes but I'm not sure that I am retaining anything.

I have a fb. Amanda Robertson, I'm sure there are a lot of Amanda Robertsons on fb lol. I'm from VA and my profile pic is of my new baby. While waiting to hear from my mentor I'm working on Biochem, watching lectures on thinkwell.
