  1. 0.45% NS is Hypernatremia?

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Intravascular pulls from interstitial which then pulls from intracellular....right? So if we hyperinflate a cell within the blood, which would change osmotic pressure, more water would then be pulled...

  2. 0.45% NS is Hypernatremia?

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If we used isotonic, the sodium levels would remain the same. The second half of your paragraph is what I was eluding to in my statement but how would 1/2 NS increase blood volume if not pulling from...

    CBsMommy replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow. You are asking for a TON of information on the night before a test. Why are you asking for this the night before the test? I would start with the fact that a fetus has a different blood flow...

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    No, I'm not at Front Range but I'm in the CCC system so our classes are tailored the same way. I was just curious. I haven't heard anything about anyone passing/failing med surg but I heard that a...

  7. questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    CBsMommy replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, everything that you are experiencing is normal. I will never forget seeing my first code in the PICU. I was standing at the nurse's station and there were so many people in the room the mother...

  8. VENT: 2 Points away from getting an A

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    We are in the same school system so I'm curious...what class knocked out the most people? Was it med-surg? I know there were fellow classmates that had trouble with that this semester but I haven't...

  10. Help with Mother/Baby concept map/Care plan

    CBsMommy replied to amanda1033's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If she's a P1, try Knowledge Deficit and state what you would teach her (which will be a lot of different things). The baby is not necessarily going to have jaundice so I wouldn't hang your hat on...

  12. clinical/grading system

    CBsMommy replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

  14. Feeling like a bad mom

    CBsMommy replied to MelanyJ's topic in General Students

    It is a really hard time. I am a single mom to a little boy who is 4 and he has a hard time being dropped off at daycare. I cry all the way to school. To make it a little easier I make sure that...

  15. What are your study techniques?

    CBsMommy replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    And always make sure you understand what you are reading. Don't just memorize. If I understand what a particular disease is doing to the body, I don't have to memorize the treatments, or the signs...

  16. sequential tests?

    CBsMommy replied to deetrain's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here is a link that may help you. http://www.levinswomenshealth.com/services/obstetrics/sequentialTesting.shtm It's not a test to confirm if the baby has Down Syndrome but it's a test to see which...

  18. low confidence

    CBsMommy replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Deetrain - I am going to be honest with you, not because I'm being mean, but because I think it will be in your best interest. I don't know you, however, I have seen you post numerous homework...

  19. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I have something to say to my clinical instructor and since I can't find the post from 2008, I'm posting it on here. To my clinical instructor: 1. It is NOT OKAY to call students fat, even if you...

  20. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    CBsMommy replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Could you please not yell at the instructor. Even if she makes a mistake while we are doing math, could you please not raise your voice? Especially all of you at once? How unprofessional are you...

  21. What is your policy on discussing grades with classmates?

    CBsMommy replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    This is exactly how I do it. People kind of know by class participation who is getting the better grades. I happen to be one of those people that has a lot of the right answers when the instructors...

  22. It makes me gag...literally

    CBsMommy replied to mspontiac's topic in General Students

    Mucus is the one thing I can't stand either. If I have to suction a trach, one of the ways I do it, is to stand on my left toes with my right foot. For some reason, it keeps my gag reflex down....

  23. judging student

    CBsMommy replied to deetrain's topic in General Students
