Class Talk Fall 2016

I had a really hard time deciding what picture to put on here to help describe me. But I thought of one of my favorite jokes; this picture can always make me smile.

My favorite electrolyte is sodium. Not only because I like eating it, but also because how it functions in the body and specifically the kidneys just makes sense to me.

My least favorite electrolyte I’d say is Phosphorus. Even though we just learned about it last week, I cannot remember what it is used for in the body and how our body reacts to too little or too much of it in the body.

Picking a picture that represented me was pretty hard. I’m a family girl… I love my kids, I love my two dogs, and I love my fiance more than I could ever put into words. I love to be silly with my family, and although I have thousands of fantastic pictures with my family, this one from Mother’s Day is one of my faves. Our pictures together always end up something like this. It captures a moment where we weren’t taking ourselves too seriously and we were just enjoying life. In all the seriousness of nursing school and studying and taking care of very sick people, I have to make sure I have more moments like this with my family.

Now, regarding the “dreaded”  lab values, it was a challenge to choose my favorite because they can all be a little confusing. I’d have to say my favorite value is potassium (K+)! It was pretty much the first lab value I ever memorized in nursing school. Go ahead ask me, I’ll scream “3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L” before you even finish the question. It is such an important value to watch in our patients, and there were a few instances last semester when I had to take it into consideration during med passes, etc.  My least favorite would probably be phosphorus….and maybe magnesium. I can’t seem to get those values to stick in my brain, ugh!
