I have the books if you want. Do you know who the professor is?

I passed! =)

Hang in there. We are almost done! @ironbound did you get a micro class? I heard spring is booked up as well.

@ironbound keep checking cunyfirst a few times a day for an opening since someone may drop the class. Ps. There are two winter Bio 51 classes

Yup! Thanks for your tips and advice so far. We're hanging in there=) Nur 18 Exam #3 Ati exam Nursing 17 exam 3 Final for both classes

It was definitely challenging! But I did ok. Some questions were way ahead of us..

Yup yup! I'm not banking on anything

Thanks @nursingstudentjess. Is it really mostly meds? A nur18 repeat student told me that they were hyped about the meds and there were only like 3 questions etc.

Am I missing out on something? can you share it with me as well?

HFA is the new MDI (metered dose inhaler). I think it was discussed in both chapters- oxygenation and medication. In regards to the test...I highly doubt you need to memorize all the meds! (though I can't be 100% sure). I think we need to know the drugs, their uses, implication and the important nursing considerations/actions. It's virtually impossible to remember all the meds. After a while of clinical experience, you will start to be more comfortable with the drugs. For example, Digoxin: -used to slow the heart and make it pump more efficiently -nurse needs to monitor heart rate etc. -lab value consideration and when to hold the med. etc. etc. etc. ps. Im also freaked out! but I'm trying to stay calm.

@Futurenurse1993I the HFA/MDI is in the oxygenation chapter. And pulse oximetry is part of the vitals assessmant.

Thanks! The test was much simpler than expected. There was one question that need lab value info. I made an educated guess and it was right:) of course I will start to get familiar and eventually memorize the values, I just realized late that we would need to refer to it. Btw, the worst part of the test are the 'check all that apply' questions. Get 3 right and one wrong...and the whole question is wrong...bummer

@nursingstudentjess thanks. Quick question-I saw questions on ATI that referred to lab values. Is the list to be memorized?

Yup, loads of info to read. Mostly all of it we have to read and teach ourselves. They barely touch on major topics that are important. The allure of the program is just that- an allure. It's kinda lame, unprofessional, and disorganized. Plus, some of the professors gotta go!

Thank you
