   mimibear posted a topic in Home Health

   I am looking for some advice. I have been a RN for a little less than a year in a hospital telemetry unit. I do not love my job (I don't dislike it either), but the experience has been tremendous and I have learned more than I ever imagined possible....

   mimibear replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Learning

   I agree about the tests. Although, they were hard in A&P 1, I think the tests for A&P 2 are much more difficult. I study and study, but there is just so much information - I am unsure what to focus on. Dr. Simmons said to focus on the outl...

    mimibear replied to buddhababy2monster's topic in Student Assist

    Okay, I have not done this for nursing school yet, but I am good at math. I am sure there are many correct ways to do this - here is mine. You know you have 15units in 500 ml, so each 1 ml has .03 u (15/500). To infuse .06 units a minute you need ...
