Thank you, this was very helpful!!! :]

PCO2 = 54 HCO3 = 35 pH = 7.35 PaO2 = 89 % What state of acid-base balance is this person in? Could you please explain your answer to me? Many thanks!! : )

Thank you guys very much. I guess I was wondering if my answer was incorrect....even though it's not the BEST answer. Let me know your thoughts on this!

Respiratory Acidosis with Metabolic Alkalosis.

I'm so sorry to hear of Daytonite's passing- I did not realize she was ill. I was stumped on an acid-base balance problem, so I thought I'd log on and send her my question. I had no idea that she passed away, or even that she was ill. I will miss ...

Thanks! I guess I agree, but I still have lingering questions in my mind about this. I mean, for "imbalanced nurtirion: more than body requirements" the R/T factor is excessive intake in relationship to metabolic need. and a defining characteristi...

Does this sound ok? Imbalanced nutrition, risk for more than body requirements, R/T reduced physical activity patterns secondary to MS exacerbation. Thanks for your help!! : )

good point!! thanks- it should definitely be a "risk" diagnosis. i thought that the physical part might be ok, since decreased physical mobility would lower body requirements? i don't know...maybe not. i mean, i guess nutritional requirements st...

I received mine today, April 2nd....

Ha! That's too funny. Thanks- :wink2:

Hi- I was wondering if anyone could tell me (from experience) what pre-requisite courses were the most useful to them in actual nursing practice. Thanks!! :wink2:

The reason I'm asking about this, is that I will be taking A&PII (all other pre-reqs are done) this fall and I'm thinking of taking one or two more classes- possibly to "freshen up." I am getting credit for a few classes I took eons ago (statist...

i recently went to my 3rd info session at massbay (rn day). i go once a year while i'm on the waiting list (3 yrs now), just to stay up to date on the requirements. i went this past april or may ('08). the system is totally ridiculous now. the ma...

I have a suggestion for you, because I am thinking about the same thing. Resarch nursing. It is true that you will have to go out and work in a hospital for a year or two (probably, but not definitely) to get most any nursing job, but the need is so ...

Hi all...I'm hoping you can give me some advice (and hopefully encouragement) about becoming a nurse. My husband (who is a physician) is discouraging me from becoming a nurse because he says the patients are "so messed up." I know what he means by ...

umm...yes (?)

Jeez...when I hear this stuff it scares me. Do I really want to become a nurse? I had absolutely no idea how smart nurses really are...why do they get so little respect? I mean, salespeople get more respect than this.

Oh, and I'm 45...maybe he thinks I'm too old (?).

Thank you guys for your input...it really helps to get a nurse's prospective. I really want a career where I'm helping people, and not sitting around on my duff. I need to stay active. Also, I told him that messed up people are everywhere you go.....

Hi, I was wondering if someone can give me any information about the clinical hours in the MassBay Community College ADN program. I am trying to figure out how I can juggle this and kids- whether I should even try. I have heard you have to be in Bost...
