  7. Help with math

    That gets me started with the 2nd one.. But I feel like the way I do it is so complicated and unnecessary, I wish I could grasp DA! The formula I'm familiar with is mcg/min to ml/h... so I would do: 2000mcg/1000 x 60 mins = 120mg/h then, 120/2000mg x...
  8. Help with math

    I am pretty desperate trying to figure out how to answer a few of these questions in a math packet we were given.. I am hoping someone can help me. I am able to do the simpler questions but for some reason these ones (all the same style) seem to be t...

    You can buy whatever stethoscope you want. I have the Cardiology III and I love it... but I've also never tried anything else LOL. A lot of students have the classic II, I think. As for pen lights... I've bought 3 this school year. The first one died...

  14. How many of you shop around for books...

    I didn't buy anything from the bookstore, they were all more expensive than at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. I actually looked up all of my books at both B&N and amazon and I ordered the specific books where they were cheapest. Standard ship...

    Yes, Grey's is very expensive, but they are so soft and comfy (: I love them! I wanna say they are 26 or 28 dollars.. I got them at Life Uniforms. And yes, plan to be at clinical at those times, but sometimes there are reasons to be there longer or n...
