I don't want you to get ahead of yourself here but I've been having some fun on this and I thought I'd share. Its a practice exam thing and I think it might help you understand what is what and how...
Oh ok so you're not too far into this ABG thing yet. Sounds like your questions will be pretty straight forward. Trust me, if you know the normal values and how they affect pH, you'll be just fine....
OK, I don't have the thing from my instructor. Wish I did, it was really good. BUT, I did find something in one of my books that is kinda like what she put out. pH low = Acidosis pH high = Alkalosis...
I'm going to look for it, but I'm not sure if I have it. I left alot of stuff at home the last time I took leave. I wish I would've kept that ICU stuff atleast. I just went and Googled ABG practice...

Hey guys and gals, just thought I'd stop by to post a quick update. I went to MEPS the second time on November 2 for the physical. (Already took the ASVAB the first time I was there). I passed the...
Aahh.. I see. I was still assuming that there was a RN, ASN program, but it appears you are right - it's a straight BSN. That makes sense. Sounds like a good deal to me, provided you're allowed enough...
Thanks for the replies. I think it's sounding like I should just enlist, making sure 91wm6 is in my contract, and go from there. (Obviously considering I qualify) They'll run me through BCT, then the...
Well, I'm back. I was here a while ago while I was doing my CNA course at the local Tech. school. My plan WAS to make my work schedule work with a school schedule, and put myself through Nursing...

Hey Wade. :groupwelcome: I wish I had your direction when I was 17. It took me almost 10 years in a factory to figure out I wanted to do something more with my life. Stay focused man, don't let...
