I am considering making a move from hospital L&D/postpartum position to the Nurse Family Partnership Visiting nurse program. I had an interview and get to do a ride along with a nurse Tuesday, and am hoping for the job offer afterwards! I have do...
I am not a working nurse yet...just moved and passed boards but no job yet, just reviewing some material a friend who is working gave me and originally at first glance thought I would need help since many were ICU drugs that I had no experience with ...
Ok...forgive me for jumping the gun on these...I was thinking I'd post before even working the problems out thinking it would take a while to get responses, so I posted and then worked on about 10 problems and realized the ones I posted are silly eas...
Hi, I'm a new grad and would like to know the answers to some calculations to know if I am doing them right. 1. Cardizem ordered at 15mg/hr. Concentration 100mg/100ml of 0.9 NS. What do I run the pump at? 2. Integrilin orders 2mcg/kg/min (pt i...

Hi Brian, For uniforms I've gone to the outlet mall in Howell and Life uniforms across from Genesse Valley mall, which is where we can buy our patches. The outlet wasn't really any cheaper. Both were sketchy with sizes, but I managed to find two se...
Hi Brian, I received the registration email also, have you checked the bookstore's list for the required books for NUR 240? It's insane! There are like 11 required books! The good thing is most of them are paperbacks, so not super expensive. I ma...
I am a Christian, but I think that regardless of what religion or type of prayer was taking place, it would be fine by me if it helped the patient. Even if it was muslim or to some other God that I don't believe in. I would not feel comfortable ver...
Hello, I have been accepted into a second degree accelerated program and have been approved for roughly $5000 subsidized and $5000 unsubsidized federal loans. Are federal unsubsidized loans better than private loans? Thanks for any info you may be ...
