Crna Mnemonics by Chris Mulder Pdf

From the author of Survive CRNA School, this book continues the mission of helping students get past the daunting task of becoming a nurse anesthetist. This is not meant as a replacement for the education you receive in school, but rather as a way to remember some of the difficult things that tend to slip away at times. For example, if you're having trouble keeping track of the bleeding risk for placenta accreta, increta, and percreta, it's covered here in the Pediatrics/Obstetrics section. Can't remember Guedel's stages of anesthesia or how to calculate fluid maintenance? You'll find that in the Anesthesia Basics section. Although this book is geared toward student CRNAs, it has helpful information that can be utilized by any type of aspiring anesthesia provider. Anesthesia school is an uphill battle that's difficult and exhausting for anyone brave enough to give it a shot. There's a reason it's hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it. But it can also be a very rewarding experience, especially once you're done. In the meantime, try to get any advantage you can to make your life easier. CRNA Mnemonics does exactly that.

The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a CRNA by Paul Atkins,Paul Wilkins Pdf

Nurse anesthetists work closely with surgeons and physicians to provide pain-free, safe treatment to patients around the world. Nurses were the first to administer anesthetics to wounded soldiers during the United States Civil War (1860-1865) and continue to be the primary anesthesiology to U.S. military servicemembers around the world.The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CNRA) is one of the more difficult certifications an RN can receive, requiring years of post-graduate study and clinical experience. Students entering CRNA programs today will graduate with the title "Doctor of Nursing Practice," the highest scholastic award available to nurses.Becoming a CRNA is a long and arduous journey that begins with admission to one of the nation's colleges with CRNA programs. Acceptance in a program is limited to those with superior scholastic records and experience in the delivery of intensive or critical care. Paul Wilkins, a practicing CRNA, has written a comprehensive reference guide about the profession, its future, and its rewards and disadvantages. Readers interested in a career as a nurse anesthetist will find his advice about selecting and applying to a CRNA school invaluable as many consider admission to be more difficult than entering medical school.

Nursing Mnemonics: 117 Tips, Tricks, and Memory Cues to Help You Survive Nursing School by Chris Mulder Pdf

Ever try to keep track of the difference between dysphagia and dysphasia and aphagia and aphasia? Having trouble remembering where to put the ekg leads? Is your patient's rhythm a second degree, type I or a second degree type II? Nursing school can be a pain in the butt. Once you think you've got something down, another subject is thrown at you. It's nearly impossible to keep track of everything as a nursing student. You think you know your stuff, but have a hard time getting it out from your brain when it's needed.I feel your pain. I was in your shoes once and had the same problems in nursing school. I found mnemonics to be a life-saver for exams, clinicals, and questioning from preceptors. Some of the memory tricks in this book are well-known, but most of them were made up over the years by yours truly. Mnemonics are not meant to teach you the information. Rather, they are meant to jog your memory, which already holds the information somewhere deep inside. These are an aid, not an education. Inside, you'll find simple mnemonic devices that can be drawn from at a moment's notice. The idea isn't to retain the entire book after reading it for the first time. Instead, use it as a guide in your journey through nursing school and beyond. Whenever you come to a nursing topic you need reinforcement on, see if there's something here that might be able to help you.Even if you decide that the book isn't for you, visit us at www.kickassnursing.com. Check out the blog and the free cheat sheets when you have a chance. Good luck!

Have pharmacology test anxiety or a feeling of overwhelm? This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

Nursing Mnemonics by Gerald Paul Clifford Pdf

Are you studying to become a nurse? Are you planning to take the NCLEX exam? Are you finding it difficult to remember all of the facts and specific medical information required of you for this position? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the book for you. Inside you will find: -Information on the proven memory aid of mnemonics, including how they work so that you can even make up your own. ✓ Hundreds of medical mnemonics cover many different topics that will help you remember the facts for exams and your daily work as a nurse. ✓ Information on the NCLEX exam, including what to expect and how to study for this important exam. ✓ 100 practice questions and answers in the same format that you will find on the NCLEX exam to know exactly what to expect. -Do you know off the top of your head when you should be concerned about a patient's mole? If you remember the mnemonic ABCDE, then it will be easy! -A = Asymmetry- B = Border irregular- C = Color irregular- D = Diameter usually greater than 0.5 cm- E = Elevation irregularWhat if you are looking at an x-ray and notice something weird that shouldn't be there. If you see HOLES in the chest, that is WEIRD. What are the possible differentials?-W = Wegner's syndrome-E = Embolic (pulmonary, septic)-I = Infection (anaerobes, pneumocystis, TB)-R = Rheumatoid (Necrobiotic nodules)-D = Developmental cysts (sequestration)-H = Histiocytosis-O = Oncological-L = Lymphangeioleiomyomatosis-E = Environmental/ occupational-S = Sarcoid. Like in these examples, mnemonics are a proven way to help you recall specific information, including detailed information such as differentials, symptoms, diagnostics, and even steps in a procedure. Throughout this book, you will find hundreds of mnemonics, many of which have been used for years by health care professionals to help them recall vital information. Once you see how the mnemonics work, you can pick and choose the ones that work for you, or you can even use the information in this book to create your own mnemonics that are easy for you to remember. Mnemonics can also come in handy on the NCLEX. Here is a question that is typical for this exam: A patient comes to the clinic complaining of severe gastrointestinal distress. Which abdominal physical assessment step does the nurse do first? a.Inspection b.Palpation c.Percussion d.Auscultation. If you remember your mnemonic tricks, then this question will be easy. Remember the mnemonic "I Am a People Person," and you will instantly know that the answer is "A, inspection." -I = Inspection-A = Auscultation-P = Percussion-P = Palpation. Please don't wait until you are studying for exams, pick up this book, and use it throughout your studies so that the mnemonics used will become second nature to you and propel you towards your nursing career.
