Issues with burning the disk

N6-Hey there, I'm having issues with burning the disk. I have successfully burned a couple, but I don't know what the deal is. So, If you would like to borrow my disk and burn one yourself or if there is someone else out there who would be willing to burn it, please feel free. Sorry! I tried!

Some of the cardiac drugs

Hey I found a pretty decent site regarding some of this stuff. I really like things to be broken down easier than our books. Kinda like give me the meat without all the fluff.....

Hope it helps

Correction N6 people

I dont know what I was thinking--There is only 1 of the N7 disks, so I don't need 2 just 1. (don't mind me, I just work here & I'm having a nervous breakdown!)

N6 People

Hey there--I have the disks. If you would like a copy please email me at RobbyGirl1@mac.com and/or bring 2 disks to class on Monday (or whenever) and I'll burn them for you. :)

Critical Care Tutorial

Here are the Shock Key Points from the Critical Care Tutorials

1. Blood Pressure is Cardiac Output multiplied by Peripheral Resistance.

2. Cardiac Output is Heart Rate times Stroke Volume.

3. Hypotension is caused by either inadequate Cardiac Output or inadequate Peripheral Resistance

4. Heart Rate, Stroke Volume and Total Peripheral Resistance exist in dynamic equilibrium: these interactions maintain blood pressure. If one of the three becomes abnormal, the other two compensate. This represents the cardiovascular physiologic reserve.

5. Hypotension is an indication of 1) an abnormality of Heart Rate, Stroke Volume or Peripheral Resistance, & 2) failure of the others to compensate.

6. Shock is acute circulatory failure leading to inadequate tissue perfusion and end organ injury: it classified as being due to malfunction of 1) the Pump (cardiogenic), 2 ) the Tubing (distributive), or 3) the Fluid (hypovolemic).

7. The heart rate is a fundamental element of hypotension both in terms of cause (tachyarrhythmias / bradyarrhythmias) and compensation – hypotension should be accompanied by a tachycardia.

8. Low Stroke volume is caused by a problem with reception or a problem with ejection.

9. Problems with reception are: inadequate venous return or cardiac inflow obstruction.

10. Fluid loss is caused by either absolute hypovolemia (e.g. blood loss) or relative hypovolemia (“third spacing”).

11. Cardiac inflow obstruction is caused by a pericardial (tamponade) or intrathoracic process (PEEP), or a lesion within the heart itself (mitral stenosis).

12. Problems with ejection include pump failure (ischemia, overload, contusion, inflammation) and outflow obstruction (embolism, aortic stenosis, aortic crossclamps).

13. Shock caused by low peripheral vascular resistance is caused by loss of tonic vasoconstriction (vasoplegia), due to sympathectomy, anaphylaxis or sepsis, leading to relative hypovolemia.

14. Vasodilation associated with septic shock occurs due to increased synthesis of nitric oxide, activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle, and deficiency of vasopressin.

Some Helps for N7
Ok you N7 SNs. I am going to put Christine Moles on the spot (sorry) and give her 4 CD copies of N7 helps to burn and pass around. There is lots of misc. help, samples, and audio for your perusal. Collected from various sources.

I also recommend that you check out this site!
Critical Care Tutorials
These tutorials are short and sweet and break all of the difficult concepts of N7 into easy to understand packets.
I read the respiratory section the night before our test and scored really high. (hint, hint)
Do yourself a favor and check it out!

BIG BIG OOPS !!!!!!!!

BIG BIG OOPS !!!!!!!!

I have been working on giving our test bank a face lift for the past few weeks. I have fixed all of the links, made titles for easy test link ID, rearranged the order and colors, etc.
but then...........
I got so excited and relieved to be finally finished that I accidentally hit the wrong key and deleted the whole bank out the Blog's existence.
Fortunatly, I have been keeping an updated copy on a word doc just in case (I know myself too well), but I do not know how to get it back to that exact moment in time to have all links to the bank still work. So I have reposted it in our January 2005 archives.
NEW TEST BANK
I have attempted to fix all of the recent links to the bank that I can find or have access to, but I can't fix all the links or the bookmarks that some of you may have made. Please let me know if you find any bad links.
I'm Sorry!
Have a nice day.

Face lift for the test bank

Face lift for the test bank

The Test Bank is currently under construction to clean up the appearance and to organize it better. You are still able to use it. Keep watching for changes and please bear with me. Thanks!

TEST BANK

Attention to all blog administrators, please do not change the posting dates of any tests or quizes. If they are moved to another date or location the link in the Bank will no longer be valid.
I am checking all of the links right now and making the Links easier to read. This is my pre-school goal.

Hello All,
My friend Sara would like to sell her Delta Nursing sweatshirt. It's in excellent condition. Worn maybe 10 times max. She is asking $30.00 for it. It's a men's medium (She neglected to try it on when she got it), navy blue. You can email her directly if interested or have any further questions about it at scooter321@comcast.net .

The new semester's nursing blog has been created!

The new semester's nursing blog has been created!

Do you know what this means? This will be the first time in the history of Delta's nursing history (that I know of anyway) that all 4 nursing semesters will be connected together in virtual cooperation and study!
This means that you are now virtual Grandbloggers!
Go check them out and watch as their blog develops.
