In April of 2011, a supercell caused 363 tornadoes to touch down in several states within a four day period. On April 27th alone, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed over 200 tornadoes touched down that ranked between F-0 and F-6 on the Fujita scale. This record breaking phenomenon resulted in the deaths of 348 people with damages estimating over $11 billion dollars. Due to the magnitude of the outbreak, National Weather Services assigned several teams to not only…

Why is math important? Some people cringe when math is mentioned, but whether they favor it or not, numbers can’t be avoided. Math is present everywhere whether it be cooking, shopping, creating, caring for others or etc. According to the history, counting supposedly started right after the development of language. Egyptians had used Egyptian system around 3000-1600 BC which they wrote 10 as ^ and 13 as III^. This system was adapted by the Romans in their roman numerals. Egyptians also has the…

With students under so much pressure to perform well academically, it is no wonder that a student’s college career can be so stressful. Financial difficulties is also a leading cause of stress among college students. The cost of college has continued to skyrocket since the 1980’s…

What makes you who you are? You are a combination of every personality strength and quirk, from the things that make you angry or happy, to the way you interact with others. Consider all the changes that happen from adolescence to adulthood; how one grows and matures. Just how does such development come to be? As people grow, there are a plethora of factors that affect their development. Some would argue that certain personality traits are innate, or that perhaps we are molded by the…

Discussion This longitudinal study assessed the extent to which academic achievement and engagement were predicted from the academic achievement and engagement of friends and network members. Concurrent Relations As expected, adolescent’s academic achievement was highly correlated with that of their friends and network members. This is consistent with findings from U.S. studies. Ryan (2001) found that students’ academic levels were similar to group’s academic levels with the correlations…

complication. Postmyocardial injury/postinfarction patients and postoperative patients are included in this category. To detect early heart failure or heart failure in compensated stages, ventricular filling pressures are evaluated against stroke volume. The ICU nurse may notice elevated cardiac filling pressures. Stroke volume may not be affected in the early stages. As the heart failure progresses, stroke volume is reduced, and tachycardia sets in. However, because of the tachycardia, cardiac…

Introduction Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system. In the early 1600’s William Harvey began to learn and talk about the circulatory system. The circulatory system is the system that circulates blood throughout the body and also transports materials like nutrients through the body. In 1733 Stephen Hales was the first to know about the concept of blood pressure. He inserted a pipe into a horse’s artery and connected the pipe to a glass tube. He noticed that blood…

Her legs and ankles are swollen and her skin appears dry and scaly. These are common presenting symptoms of CKD (National Kidney Foundation, 2010). Tracey’s blood pressure is recorded at 210/90mmhg, which is a high reading in comparison to a normal range of 100 to 140mmhg systolic and 60 to 90mmhg diastolic (National Heart Foundation, 2015). Tracey’s blood test results reveal her Glomerular filtration Rate (GFR) is…

Research Day Reflection Attending the research day in Sykes Student Union was an interesting and beneficial alternative clinical day. The day had a variety of different presentations, posters and a complimentary breakfast! To begin the day, we took a look at some research posters created by students who were enrolled in NSG 313 in the spring semester. The first poster I viewed was a literature review of the affects of breastfeeding infants with NAS. It showed that breastfeeding reduced the…

ventricles are almost full the atria contracts, pumping more blood into the ventricles. The contraction completes ventricular filling, causing the pressure and volume in the ventricles to further increase. Following Atrial Systole is Ventricular Systole. This is when the ventricles contract, forcing blood back up towards the atria. When the pressure in the ventricles exceeds that in the atria it snaps the AV valves shut, causing the first heart sound, “lub.” The semilunar valves remain…
