3. Please Help with IV calculation homework

   BabyNurseBecky replied to JaclynRN789's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree with roser13. There is no way to know how many mL per hour unless you know the concentration. Also, maybe I am just rusty too (very possible), but are you sure it's 4 mg/hr???

4. Thinking about becoming an RN

   BabyNurseBecky replied to JJuliana's topic in General Nursing

   Hi JJuliana! It sounds to me like you have what it takes to be a great nurse!! As far as the death issue, there are some nursing jobs in which you don't have to deal with death nearly as much as others. That is something to take into consideration wh...

7. Job opportunities on L&D floor?

   BabyNurseBecky replied to Momto2QTBoys's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Where do you live? I know that all of the hospitals around here are different (Lancaster County, PA). There is one hospital that offers almost all rotating shifts; however, many of the hospitals do not have rotating shifts at all. For the most par...

11. Bayada Nurses or PSA Healthcare

    BabyNurseBecky replied to BabyNurseBecky's topic in Private Duty

    My test didn't have any math questions. Honestly, the questions were, for the most part, common sense. There were matching and true and false. There were a few that threw me, but overall, they really weren't bad. I have been out of nursing for more ...
