Hey thanx for the advice lol, I will pass it along in report because the Doctor has not got back with us. Her sats has come up to 99% while on the O2, then it falls within an hour or so back to the 80s

LPN here, only for 2 years, here at a psych hospital. Ok, one of my patients who's in for bipolar and confusion is a very old woman. She's a Walky-talky and was running around the unit without any issues. Well just out of pure curiosity I decided to check her O2 sats and it was at 83%. I noticed she was on albuterol via nebulizer treatments as needed so I applied one. But she remained at 83%... So now I have her on O2 n/c @ 2L... I know I won't get an answer soon enough, but I'll like something for future reference, my charge nurse is kind of clueless... Oh and the patients has hx of asthma and copd, no symptoms of distress, she's sleeping. Should I be really alarmed? I know this sounds dumb lol

Thanks I will look into those modules... I'm unable to PM you for some reason though, but would really appreciate any info about the FB groups

thanx for replying. I just received studygroup101 materials in the mail today, a friend of mine recommended them as well. Did you use any of the required textbooks or did you rely on studygroup101? Good luck with your CPNE, how long did it take you to complete all exams?

yes i have

Ok, I'm about to begin my studies to become an RN with Excelsior Colege, Any suggestions on study materials? also i would love to here from anyone who as completed or is currently enrolled on some insight on what to expect. Should i get the required textbooks?, clinicals, ect...

overnight shifts are much easier... i am also a new nurse and am feeling the EXACT same way you are... thinking if this is for me
