The concentration-effect of gases as far as I am concerned generally refers to Blood/Gas partition coefficient, which is the solubility of the gases in the blood and alveolar space. This obeys the Ostwald law. The concentrating effect with other gases obeys the Ficks law (The second gas effect/Diffusion Hypoxia). This only applies to Nitrous Oxide. It is due to the acceleration of large inspired concentration of Nitrous oxide, which subsequently accelerates the uptake of the second gas into the blood and speeds the onset of the second gas. The reverse happens during emergence where the diffusion occurs. I hope this helps!!

Pennsylvania BSN GPA: 3.7; Associate GPA: 4.0; CCRN; 2 years experience in MICU as Charge and RRT. The interview is what makes or break you.

It's true that they only accept 10 applicants. The program is competitive and they only send out acceptance letters after they have interviewed all applicants. The program directors are very nice. The program is the cheapest DNP/CRNA so far and the curriculum is tailored in such a way that you can work per diem in your first two semesters. However, the courses in those semesters are not a joke, be prepared. Please be prepared for the interview and call the school if you have any questions.

Im abt to apply to Penn but I was not require to take biology and pathophysiology for my BSN. Are these 2 classes a must to complete before I apply.

I have been invited for an Interview, I just want to know what to expect on the day of interview and what kind of questions were asked. I will be glad if anyone can help. Thank you

Well, you have to first understand how osmotic, albumin and hydrostatic pressure works. There are many reasons why patients develop ascites and the most common causes is liver problem. Patients with cirrhosis have low albumin level because the liver cant produce them anymore or produce little. Albumin helps to keep fluid in the circulatory system, so when there is low albumin fluid tends to leak around the cell ( third spacing) which cause ascites. The recommended fluid removal is less than 5, when more than 5 is removed it usually cause hypotension because even though the fluids that was removed is in the third space, fluid continues to leak into the third space from the vasculature because low albumin cant keep the fluid in the circulatory system Thats why we usually check Bp to see if the patient can tolerate the procedure and we give albumin to prevent hypotension which helps to draw fluid into the circulatory system before the procedure. So the answer to the question is, paracentesis can cause hypotension and you should always be alert and prevent it by giving albumin and remove fluids gradually. I hope this helps.

Its official my name is on the board of nursing

Yes i got the good pop up this morning. Im not celebrating yet until my name shows up on BON

Relax, congrat. Every case is different. Mine changed after 24 hours i think so not 12 hours. The pvt is reliable

My result was on hold for like 12 hours and around this morning, it changed to the good pop up. You just gotta keep checking it. I know how you feel, believe me

So what abt those that took the exam this wednesday, have they tried the pvt yet?

The questions were all over the place. Make sure you know your maternity really well, that was my weak area and a bunch of questions came from there, so i was prepared for it. I didnt use ati per se, I only used it for review of content on maternity. The questions were staright forward and not that difficult at all compared to uworld. Just make sure you read question and understand what its asking. I got alot of sata, 2 drag and drop, no med math, alot of meds (my strongest point lol, so thats an advantage) and 2 ekg ( one was sata and one was what would you do for the rhythm. You got this��

Well just got the good up. Our record indicate... Im so so happy right now

hmmm. I did the PVT, it says "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time." now this just increased my anxiety level

Guys Im scheduled to take the exam on thursday but im thinking of resecheduling to wednesday. I just want to do this exam and move on with my life. I think Im burnt out and stressed out.

Qbank before assessment. Im only using the ati comprehensive book for content right now.

Just finished uworld with an average of 59 an a percentile of 78 and the assessment test I scored 73 on it and it says very high with a percentile of 96. I hope this uworld scores are reliable. I'm taking the exam next week. so I will continue to do questions until then. I got to pass this dreaded test

You are right on both questions. I dont know why they picked aspirin and code black. For question 2, you dont attend to code black patient because thats a waste of resources, you attend to red followed by yellow. As for question 1, how does the nurse knws the patient that the patient have chest pain without talking to patient himself, if possible doesnt even have contraindication to aspirin and aspirin wont relieve acute chest pain

I havent done the assessment yet. I want to finish the question bank before doing the assessment. I should be able to finish tomorrow or saturday. Uworld is my content and question bank lol. Im weak on maternity. to those that took the exam, how much maternity question was on the exam

I guess I have to join this thread since I just register for the exam and I will be taking it next week. I have been doing uworld so far and I've been scoring low 50s to low 60s. My average on it is 59. I have like 400 questions left but I think im still not fully prepared for the exam. So guys any info on other study materials will be appreciated.

G is 7 because the patient is currently pregnant, you have to count that too. So it is G7-T1-P3-A2-L4

71.3 is too high for your school. My school cut off mark is 69.3 which is 90%. I posted some tips yesterday. Make sure you do the practice test and know the rationale before taking the test

I just passed my ATI 2016 predictor with 75.3 and thats 97% chance of passing nclex Tips..... Know your common labs Some questions like 3 or so are from the comprehensive practise test Delegation and priority were big on the test Some questions were repeated like 2 or 3 times in a different way. So becareful Lastly, the exam was not that bad. However, think twice before picking an answer.

Good job bro. I cant believe this is our final semester. I remember when we used to solve all those dosage calculations here 2 years ago.
