Cardiac Power Point

Hello everyone!  Please see that attached Cardiac slides.  Many of you asked for the visual aids to help you study.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!  

Cardiac Power Point

I know many of you expressed that the cardiac system is one of the more difficult systems to understand.  It will begin to make more sense as we move ahead in lecture.  Remember that tutoring is available if you need some one-to-one attention or would like to sign up as a group.  Go to the Nursing Department office and see Diane Banes to sign up.  Don't wait until the day before the final exam!

I am also available, as always, from 7am - 8am before class.

See you all tomorrow!

The ECG Dance

As we enter the cardiac unit, I thought you would enjoy some entertaining ways to remember your EKG rhythms!   Remember that we are testing on Chapters 7 and 8 on Tuesday.  A study guide was distributed in class.  If you have any questions, I will be in my office from 7am - 8am Monday morning.  Enjoy the video!

Life Outside the Comfort Zone

Hello students!  I look forward to an interesting term learning from each other.  The name of this blog was chosen from my own experiences as a student.  I remember being constantly challenged to move outside of my comfort zone and learn everything that I could.  This was one of the best pieces of advice that I ever received as a student nurse.  My hope is that you locate your comfort zone and wave goodbye to it.  Nursing is all about being a life long leaner and gleaming the most information out of ever encounter. 

We have fifteen weeks together and a variety of topics to cover this term.  I will post additional material on the blog several times a week so please check it on a regular basis.  I will also post the power point presentations to allow you additional study material.  The notes will be handed out in class, but as many of you prefer the actual power point slides and the accompanying graphics, they will be made available.

I look forward to a productive term.  I will see you all in class next week!
