I've been studying weekly since 2/14/13; I'm scheduled for 5/20/13. I have been out of school for 25 years and am anxious but confident!!!!!!!!! BE PREPARED!!!!!!! THAT'S MY ADVICE. A lot of people are stressed about the test but if you go in with a positive attitude AND GO IN PREPARED, you can say you did your best. Old lady here plans to pass!!!!!!!!!!!

ABG's made easy; you can be acidotic w/either too much acid (respiratory) or not enough base (metabolic) you can be alkolotic w/either too much base (metabolic) or not enough acid (respiratory) if your pH is normal and HcO3 or CO2 is out of wack, it's compensating if your pH is out of not normal, you are not compensating; sort of, if it's attempting to correct (as evidenced by movement of HCO3 & CO2 towards normal), it's partially compensated. Anyone still studying? I'm testing in May and need LOTS more help!!!!!!!!!!!!
