1. NCLEX for PDA?

   *CJA* replied to *CJA*'s topic in Student Assist

   I bought Saunder's for the PDA from Barnes and Noble. It didn't come with the book - which is fine because I already have the book. It was cheaper than Skyscape. It has 5000 questions and is very easy to use.

2. NCLEX for PDA?

   *CJA* replied to *CJA*'s topic in Student Assist

   I have the Lippincott book, which came with a CD which also had PDA questions on it. The book has that many questions, but not the PDA. If you do buy one of these, could you please post how many PDA questions there really are? Thanks, C

3. NCLEX for PDA?

   *CJA* posted a topic in Student Assist

   I'm looking for NCLEX review questions for my PDA (pocket pc). I have Lippincott's but it only has 300 questions and it seems like the same ones come up over and over. Does anyone have any of the others? How many questions does the PDA version have...

4. A New 50 year old nurse!?????

   *CJA* replied to timjo's topic in General Nursing

   I am 51 and will graduate with my BSN in December of this year. I really wondered if I would have the stamina to make it through 12 hour shifts. Now I think maturity actually helps with this. We know we have to go to bed early the night before, get ...

5. Math Help? What is the correct answer.

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   The way this problem is worded is very, very typical. It's just that the /d or per day is left out. Without exception, in my med calc book, all the examples that have the words "divided doses" also have /d or per day and the answer would have been ...

6. Math Help? What is the correct answer.

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   OK, well I would go to the instructor or TA and politely ask to see the problem correctly worked out.

7. Math Help? What is the correct answer.

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   You are right, but this is a test question, not real world. Why would it say "divided doses" if it was per dose? I think it has to be per day. But then, the OP says it's getting marked wrong. All I can say is I'm glad I'm not in that class, 'cause ...

   66 lbs/2.2 = 30 kg body wt 50 mg x 30 kg = 1500 mg/day 1500mg/2 = 750 mg/dose I have seen this type of problem on many med calc tests. Must be able to do them!!

9. New about to be Student with Questions

   *CJA* replied to myonlyboyluke's topic in General Students

   It varies but you're usually looking at several science courses: anatomy and physiology, microbiology; college algebra, phsychology, etc. If you've had no previous college, you'll need some core courses like English, and maby sociology, too. Again,...

10. New about to be Student with Questions

    *CJA* replied to myonlyboyluke's topic in General Students

    Is it a community college or a university? Are you going for an RN program? For all the RN programs I know of, you need several prerequisite courses before applying to the nursing program. An advisor at your school should be able to spell it out for...

12. Are we Really going to use all that stuff??

    *CJA* replied to TRINI_RN's topic in General Students

    I'm surprised you need your own bp cuff. We use hospital/lab's.

13. I have insomnia!!!

    *CJA* replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    I allow my husband to sleep with me. Same problem. I am going to the doctor on Thurs. I have tried lots of OTC and Rx - haven't found the right thing yet. I know it's partially hormonal.

14. I have insomnia!!!

    *CJA* replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    I've tried Valerian Root a long time ago but OMG, the smell, the aftertaste! But maybe I'll give it another go. Those energy drinks don't do a thing for me. BTW, I have tried Rx for sleep, but despite promises to the contrary, they make me sleepy al...
