lab results    1. 0     I am trying to make a list of basic lab
values that a new grad would need to know when starting her/his
day (ie: for telemetry we should know the pt's potassium value
which may cause arrythmias). If you are specializing in L&D,
M/S, Oncology etc. which would you tell a new grad to know? Any
ideas?    2. Get the Hottest Nursing Topics Straight to Your

so far...    5. 0     All the same ones we all learned in school
Cynthia! ABG's,the Chem 7, PT/PTT INR and on tele, the cardiac
enzymes. The rest will come in time and practice, and really
they have H or L highlighted for them already on most of it
anyway. A helpful thing to teach them may be how to properly
interpret a CBC, and ABG's.
