   Velocirobot replied to dreamerachiever's topic in General Students

   In my drug calc class, we were taught a Glass is a standard 6oz, or 180mL. If you use that, along with other numbers given in these comments, you will get 1535mL for intake. ETA: the answer of 1535 does not include the IVPB at all. It's 800+120+180+2...

2. Psych Class - Too Close to Home

   Velocirobot posted a topic in General Students

   I am in the second semester of my ADN program, and one of the courses this semester is a psych/mental health class. I was initially very excited about this class, as I have thought since beginning the program that I wanted to be a psych nurse someday...

3. Will I have a social life in nursing school

   Velocirobot replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking classes for my ASN program, working full-time, and still have time to hang out with my husband and family on the weekends. As long as you keep up with when assignments are due, and work on things a little bit every day, you should definite...

4. Should I follow Pearson vue handbook in skill exam?

   Velocirobot replied to RyderandCandy's topic in CNA/MA

   Follow your handbook! I just took the skills test with Pearson Vue back in April, and they wanted the steps performed exactly like the handbook, and they wanted them in order. I used the videos to study, but make sure to note where the video is diffe...

   Benefit Medical has a line of liquid resistant scrubs that look pretty nice and less boxy. They offer both of their top styles in white. Sorry, I don't know how to link

6. How would you interpret this?

   Velocirobot replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Is there a final exam in the course? I wonder if the 10 points might be added to a final exam grade, not the overall course grade. I am just saying this because adding 10 points to a course grade for filling out an evaluation seems a little over-the-...

7. I'm taking the HESI Entrance Exam on Friday and I'm so scared

   Velocirobot replied to RCK1756's topic in HESI

   I second the Pocket Prep app, totally worth the price. I practiced with it (mostly A&P) and it really helped me a lot. The non-science sections are pretty much exactly like the book. If you can do them in there, you should be fine on the test. I ...

   Thank you for the info! I actually got my letter on Friday, and I've been accepted to the program! I hope your letter is good news as well!

9. Survive as Cna in nursing school?

   Velocirobot replied to ChiefFaith's topic in CNA/MA

   Just as a warning, $10/hr sounds great, but doesn't go as far as you might think. My husband and I pay &650 for our apartment, but I would never be able to afford it on my own. Once you take into account electric, water, internet, any other luxur...

10. GNTC Fall 2017

    Velocirobot posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Is there anyone else here who has applied for GA Northwestern's program for this fall? I am getting more and more anxious as the days pass, and wish I knew how they calculated their points for the HESI portion of the points calculation page. I only ...
