| do you need physics for nursing: Chemistry and Physics for Nurse Anesthesia David Shubert, PhD, John Leyba, PhD, 2009-06-15 [A] welcome addition to the reference materials necessary for the study of nurse anesthesia....The textbook is divided into logical, easy to use sections that cover all areas necessary for the practice of nurse anesthesia....This is a text that is easy to read and able to be incorporated into any nurse anesthesia chemistry and physics course. I would recommend this textbook to any program director. --Anthony Chipas, PhD, CRNA Division Director Anesthesia for Nurses Program Medical University of South Carolina At last. . . a combined chemistry & physics nursing anesthesia text. This textbook offers combined coverage of chemistry and physics to help students learn the content needed to master the underlying principles of nursing anesthesia. Because many graduate nursing students are uncomfortable with chemistry and physics, this text presents only the specific content in chemistry and physics that relates to anesthesia. Written in a conversational, accessible style, the book teaches at a highly understandable level, so as to bridge the gap between what students recall from their undergraduate biochemistry and physics courses, and what they need to know as nurse anesthetists. The book contains many illustrations that demonstrate how the scientific concepts relate directly to clinical application in anesthesia. Chapters cover key topics relating to anesthesiology, including the basics of both chemistry and physics, fluids, a concentration on gas laws, states of matter, acids and bases, electrical circuits, radiation, and radioactivity. With this text, students will benefit from: A review of the math, chemistry, and physics basics that relate to clinical anesthesia A conversational presentation of just what students need to know, enabling a fast and complete mastery of clinically relevant scientific concepts Heavy use of illustrations throughout chapters to complement the text End-of-chapter review questions that help students assess their learning PowerPoint Slides available to qualified instructors. |

| do you need physics for nursing: Anesthesia Crash Course Charles Horton, 2008-12-02 Anesthesia Crash Course is uniquely positioned to address the needs of new trainees in anesthesia. This book is written in a conversational tone, avoiding unnecessary jargon and distilling the key concepts of anesthesia into easy-to-remember tidbits - an approach in increasing demand by medical students and junior physicians. The audience for this book is chiefly new anesthesia residents, interns, medical students who rotate through anesthesia services, and nurse anesthetists. By demystifying the world of anesthesia, it provides a welcome resource to medical students and RNs who are considering additional training in this popular but poorly understood specialty. Surgical residents who feel they're not up to speed with what's happening on the other side of the ether screen would certainly also benefit from reading Anesthesia Crash Course. New anesthesia trainees face an extremely daunting learning curve. As they progress through training, they will read longer and more detailed treatises on every aspect of modern anesthesia. It is not realistic to imagine that someone might finish such a book in the first week of his or her training! Anesthesia Crash Course wil serve as a bridge between a trainee's pre-anesthesia experience and more formal training. It can be read in the last month of internship, or in evenings while completing the first few weeks of anesthesia training. It can also serve as a medical student's accompaniment for a two-week anesthesia elective. |

| do you need physics for nursing: Trauma Patient to Trauma Nurse Rolfe Ordona, 2021-11 Rolfe Eric Ordona, RN, has been working in the medical field since 2003. He was tragically involved in an accident with his fiance Monica Janette Azero. He has been working hard to achieve his goals and dreams. He was inspired by his journey to success and wanted to motivate and influence others to live life to the fullest. I'm an ordinary guy doing ordinary things. Most of the time, I spent my younger years thinking I knew everything. I really didn't listen to anyone, no one was going through what I was going through. There was an event in my life that changed my whole world. This event became the inspiration behind writing this book. There are different types of people that I became while growing up and going through tough times. I became a person who made things happen, a person who watched things happen and a person who didn't know what was happening. Don't be the person who doesn't know what's happening. Once you get there, it's tough to get out of being that person. Most people start out making things happen, but as soon as tragedy comes, they become the person who starts to watch things that happen. After a while, depression sets in, and they fall so far back in a hole, they become a person who no longer knows what's happening. This book was written to show how an ordinary guy with everyday problems was faced with a traumatic event in his life, where he had no choice but to believe in his dreams and to make things happen with no help but his faith in God and most of all believing in himself. Rolfe talks about how he had to think outside the box in order to save his house and why making it through nursing school was so important to him. Rolfe's goal in life after the accident was to have a story to tell. He wanted to influence people to do better and to live the best life they can. Be passionate about who you are and where you see yourself in the future. He wanted people to understand that hard work will always pay off. This ordinary guy went from being a trauma patient to becoming a trauma nurse. |

| do you need physics for nursing: "I Love Learning; I Hate School" Susan D. Blum, 2016-01-13 Frustrated by her students’ performance, her relationships with them, and her own daughter’s problems in school, Susan D. Blum, a professor of anthropology, set out to understand why her students found their educational experience at a top-tier institution so profoundly difficult and unsatisfying. Through her research and in conversations with her students, she discovered a troubling mismatch between the goals of the university and the needs of students. In I Love Learning; I Hate School, Blum tells two intertwined but inseparable stories: the results of her research into how students learn contrasted with the way conventional education works, and the personal narrative of how she herself was transformed by this understanding. Blum concludes that the dominant forms of higher education do not match the myriad forms of learning that help students—people in general—master meaningful and worthwhile skills and knowledge. Students are capable of learning huge amounts, but the ways higher education is structured often leads them to fail to learn. More than that, it leads to ill effects. In this critique of higher education, infused with anthropological insights, Blum explains why so much is going wrong and offers suggestions for how to bring classroom learning more in line with appropriate forms of engagement. She challenges our system of education and argues for a reintegration of learning with life. |
