  1. Pre-Nursing @ Bergen Community College

    Yes, I think we (DaddyO & I) were the last people to take the Accuplacer; it is now the HESI, which is more complex. I won't say "harder," because the Accuplacer wasn't easy, just based on subjects of more common knowledge. I used the Kaplan boo...
  2. How important is your g.p.a

    Congrats, I_See_You_RN....I see you were just recently hired, and surgical ICU to boot! That is wonderful!! :)
  3. How important is your g.p.a

    As a student in a A.A.S. course, my GPA simply is what it is....for now. I spent alot of time coveting it for my pre-reqs, but decided toTRY not to stress over it while in the program, as that MOST people end up invariably going down. I went from a 3...
  4. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Thank you! I will be passing this on to classmates, and classmates that I am not acquainted with on allnurses.com can search and find the answer here as well!! I knew Daytonite could help us! :heartbeat
  5. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Oh, I have no idea who created the med calculation practice packet...I'm curious to see when/if we review it if the instructor catches on to the misprint. I try really hard to keep my mouth shut, nursing instructors can be....ah, testy folk! :wink2: ...
  6. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    I'm still a nursing student in Bergen County, NJ (graduate Dec 2010) and I'm worried already! I can only only pray the economy will be in an upswing by the time I graduate....:uhoh21:

  8. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Ah, that's good to know. As I said, I've never seen "dilutent" before, but I didn't want to judge it prematurely, "vancromycin" or not! Reminds me of a time when when I was touring nursing colleges, and I saw a sign above the patient simulator manneq...
  9. Yet Another I.V. calculation problem!

    Thank you for saying "diluent"....my handouts call it "dilutent," which I don't know it it's correct or not; however, in my 17 years as a medical assistent reconstituting meds/giving injections, I've never seen a vial of diluent say "dilutent" on it!...
  10. I need someone's (Daytonite? :wink2:) help regarding this question. I've seen another thread with a similar pharmacology question asking for "dilution volume" that leads me to believe I know the answer, but my worksheet poses the query in a slightly ...

    Sorry, I have no experience with the HESI...wish I could help!
  12. Bergen Community College Nursing Program Question

    Well, I'm happy to say I made it through Level 1 with flying colors! I have a medical background to fall back on, thank GOODNESS, and I managed to figure out the thinking behind the tests to do well. I'm so happy, I came out with my GPA intact (much ...
  13. Yeah, it WAS funny, huh? I mean, all I see is your name on the sign-in and I'm like, "Wait...is that MY Ed??" LOL I'll pm you my address....
  14. Yeah, I'll say! The only time I experience true discomfiture was the first night though; the room was so BITTERLY cold that I couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that I felt like I was in a meatlocker! Plus, as I told you Saturday in the nu...
