  1. Advice

    pre-nurseshan replied to Anthony BSN,RN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I just took the HESI A2 in August. I found a TEAS study book at Goodwill and used that plus textbook websites. If you scroll down in in this forum you will see my post. Good

  2. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    pre-nurseshan replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh - I still get so confused by the differences! So you would be taking classes with the traditional track students, then, vs the RN-BSN

    pre-nurseshan replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mdh.lpn - are you doing the RN-BSN

  4. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    pre-nurseshan replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I'm the one who's at MTSU. *giggle* although I'm really surprised there's no one else here applying to that program - I know at least twice as many people apply as there

  5. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We did an experiment in my a&p II lab where 3 test subjects drank 500mL hypotonic sol'n, 3 drank 500 mL isotonic sol'n, and 3 drank 50 mL hypertonic sol'n. Then we measured urine output at 30,...

    I was also told not to expect to hear anything until Thanksgiving. Doesn't stop me from rushing to check the mail everyday,

  7. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So GFR drops when bp drops - bp drops when blood volume drops - when GFR drops less urine is produced... That makes sense wrt the hypotonic group, but I just can't figure the initial rise for the...

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mkatts19 and halcyonn - thank you so much for responding to this poor pre-nursing student! I really appreciate it! I'm starting to think that I'm overcomplicating this in my mind, which is my...

  9. Any student wanting to specialize in midwifery?

    pre-nurseshan replied to RNtobe2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also hoping to become a CNM in the long term - actually, CNM/FNP. Don't anybody rain on my

  10. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, does blood na deficiency cause decreased blood volume because more water is absorbed into

  11. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aldosterone affects the kidneys and the arterioles, elevating blood pressure and blood volume. The elevated blood volume helps maintain normal osmolarity wrt increased na retention. The increased bp...

  12. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hypotonic group is the one that will ultimately be affected by aldosterone secretion, because the sol'n in take is going to depress the blood na concentration > activating aldosterone...

  13. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An isotonic solution has the approriate ratio of h2o:na, so excretion can continue at a normal level. There would be no net impact on aldosterone secretion here. The volume of output in the isotonic...

  14. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope it helps too! Let me see... Concentrated sol'n means less water per solute: less water to retain vs Na which needs to be excreted. So there is the high initial NaCl conc in the hypertonic...

  17. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    pre-nurseshan replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At MTSU the interview is part of the overall admissions score, so I'm pretty sure everyone has to have one. They wanted to schedule mine before fall break last week, but I'm sure not everyone got in...

  19. Waiting For Spring 2013 Acceptance..Anyone else?

    pre-nurseshan replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just had my interview - last step in the application process. I felt good and confident in my answers - hopefully I didn't come across as arrogant! Won't hear till around Thanksgiving,

  20. What Pre-Requisites should I stack?

    pre-nurseshan replied to Takari's topic in LPN to RN

    I would recommend NOT taking Micro until you have completed A&P. You could maybe take chem and a&p at the same time depending on your schedule and how many responsibilties you have. Having...

    pre-nurseshan replied to radicalsenseofhope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RSOH - I don't have too much to add to what these others said, but just wanted to let you know I am in a very similar situation to you - 36, 2 hs'd kiddos, husband home more often than not, looking to...

    pre-nurseshan replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just saw this thread - I'm retaking A&P II (along with A&P I) because my SON requires science credits within the past 7 years, and mine are 12 yrs old. I got A's the first time , though, so...

  25. I am NOT getting MATH!

    You said you've tried all the sites - does that include Khan acadamy? IME he has a very natural way of explaining what seem like totally abstract
