Chapter 41 Child with a Cardiovascular Disorder

I made up my own PowerPoint slides from our OB/Peds book. I used no other sources. I feel these are a bit more organized and help with my understanding of the chapter so I hope they help you too!

OB/Peds

Hey guys I thought I'd post a link to a great Pearson OB/Peds textbook companion site:

http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_london_maternal_2/48/12415/3178396.cw/-/t/index.html

This is not the site for our specific textbook but it follows our book pretty closely.

Some benefits of the site:

THE SITE IS FREE
10 NCLEX questions per chapter and ANSWERS
Critical concepts in the chapter are outlined in DETAIL
FREE TABLES under the "Nursing Tools" tab in each chapter

Well enjoy!

Wow, so much typing

Well here it is, the last chapter except for what we just covered last class. I am going to try and get those up...but no promises

Good luck guys!!!!

Chapter 28 Kidney Disorders

Chapter 27

I am going to try and soldier through chapter 28 but I haven't slept all night doing the stupid fluid and electrolytes chapter so I may take a nap and return to typing around 1-2pm. I'll try and post a brief note if I take a little siesta :)

Here is Chapter 27!

Chapter 27 Urinary Tract Disorders

Fluids and Electrolytes...OMG this stinks!!!!!

Doing some catch up...

Hi Class :)

I hope everyone is okay given what we are all going through. I'll be posting from the very beginning of our Med-Surg II class lectures. However, unless I get some really good coffee I won't post anymore until tomorrow the 26th. Sorry guys, a girl has to get some sleep. Here's what you can do though, go to my earlier posts and print out all the Med-Surg II study guides I have and work on those. Trust me, plenty of work to do there.

So here is chapter 30 Coronary Heart Disease

Posting, good news :) I'M BACK!!! FULLY UPDATED!!!!

Dear Classmates,   UPDATED 7/14 6:53PM

Looks like my grades were a direct reflection of this website. As soon as I stopped posting my grades took a downward turn :( Well not any more! I'll be posting again and really trying to get these done ASAP. The guides will be a bit different though. Instead of tedious long answer questions they will be fill-in-the-blank! The material will be straight from the lecture notes and lecture. I hope this helps you :) Good luck!

Here is your first chapter!

Chapter 42 Headaches and Seizures

Chapter 43 Herniated Disks and CNS Infections

Chapter 44 Degenerative Neuro Disorders, Periph Neuro Disorders, Cranial Nerve Disorders

Chapter 12 Inflammation and Immune

Chapter 13 Hypersensitivity

Med-Surg Test Two: Full Throttle

UPDATED 2:34AM 3/20/2013

Hello classmates,

Well, here we are gearing up for MS test number two and finally digging into our clinicals. I don't know if you all are as exhausted as me but I'm not sure I would have kept my sanity if I had to do this test next week. That being said, I am excited for spring break and a little time off of nursing to come back rested and refreshed.

Don't worry, I'll be around my computer writing study guides for a little while longer (this weekend). I hope to have them all to you by Sunday night. Keep checking back often for new updates.

I hope everyone has a fabulous break and let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns about any of the study guides.

Med-Surg: Chapter 29 Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems

Med-Surg: Chapter 30 Coronary Heart Disease

Med-Surg: Chapter 31 Cardiac Disorders

Med-Surg: Chapter 32 Vascular and Lymphatic Disorders

Med-Surg: Chapter 33 Hematologic Disorders

Med-Surg: Chapter 10 Fluids, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Imbalances

Yeah buddy :)

Med-Surg...We've Made It!!!

HEY ALL CHAPTERS POSTED 2/25/2013
Hello Class,

Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I will be trying my best to do study guides for Med-Surg I, the class--not lab. I regret to inform you that I will no longer be posting the keys. I have my reasons for this but mostly I think it helps you and me to work the study guides rather than just reading my keys. This being said, I will complete the study guides so if you have questions I am happy to answer them via email at mmciver2@ivytech.edu or in class.

So, I wish us all luck in getting through the rest of the semester and beginning our clinicals. I am so excited to start using all this information, and I have nothing but the highest hopes for all of us.

Please see below for the link to Med-Surg Ch. 12 Study Guide. I'll be updating this post as I finish this week's lecture slides.

Med-Surg: Chapter 12 Infections

Med-Surg: Chapter 13 Altered Immunity

Med-Surg: Chapter 14 Cancer

Med-Surg: Chapter 34 Respiratory System 

Med-Surg: Chapter 35 Upper Respiratory Disorders 

Med-Surg: Chapter 36 Ventilation Disorders 

Med-Surg: Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Disorders 

In class we saw the Lewis Blackman story. I looked up the link and have provided it here for the FULL story.

Lewis Blackman Story: Parts 1-5

See you in class,

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. This will be the last blog for this class. I am currently in the middle of creating study guides for the slides we were given but have not yet gone over in lecture. I will upload them as I finish each one so you can print them ASAP.

For the people who have lab tomorrow with Linda, and me, don't forget the I&O worksheet that is due tomorrow and the list of terms we were supposed to memorize. These were all given to us on the first day of class.
