   racquetmom replied to lvnnars1's topic in Student Assist

   If you are just reading through then certainly skim, but seriously, if you are going to answer someone's question you need to read what the actual question is. If you post a question, would you want the answers coming back by people who just skimmed...

2. Who has taken time off after 1st semester?

   racquetmom replied to RB2000's topic in General Students

   I don't see how you will get back in to block II as those passing block I get first crack at it. Say 3 people fail block I then those that failed in block II will go in those spots prior to you who decided to take a year off. So 5 people fail in bl...

   racquetmom replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in General Students

   We have specific school scrubs, but I purchased mine on craigslist from a couple different people to save money. I purchased one pair of pants new so I would have three sets. I also purchased my lab coat from craigs with school logo. I start with ...

5. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

   racquetmom replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

   Solving in your head is (6 X 7 and you say 42). You are not allowed to write out the problem and solve? Are you saying like patient needs 50 mg of med and the bottle is 25 mg/tablet. You select A,B,C,D and one answer is I will give two tablets. Ye...

6. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

   racquetmom replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

   I don't understand this comment as you have to understand and know it to be able to punch in the correct numbers. In other words, you would have to know how to solve for gtts/min before you could just punch in numbers on a calculator. Yes, errors...

7. What date do you start Nursing school?

   racquetmom replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

   That is why in my next note I wrote "seriously though" but it probably was read as how can my books not be in. I think us nursing students will boost up back to school sales as I probably don't have near enough notebooks. Sorry about the bad joke a...

   racquetmom replied to Purrfectfriend's topic in NCLEX

   I am starting as a student so cannot relate to the stresses of nursing school except what I know from reading and what is expected. My question is how did she pass all her school exams and the final exit exam (if there was one)? You indicated she k...

10. Dosage calculation help?

    racquetmom replied to purplehaze89's topic in Student Assist

    You have to multiply 3mcg times the kilo wt. 87.4 X 3mcg =262.2 mcg You would then convert to mg so .262 mg I do the Dimensional analysis. I haven't started class yet, but have been practicing. Here is how I did it ml/hr = 250ml/50mg X .262mg/min X...

    racquetmom replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Seriously though, our books aren't in yet. I am not buying from Amazon as you have to be careful as to what is needed and some cost more through them. This was discussed in another post as well. If you need say fundamentals book and mylab that is ...

    racquetmom replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    What is the school policy as you say you only missed once in one year and you believe it is not your fault and you worked so hard. Noone is questioning your hard work whatsoever, but if the policy is one absence then you have it and therefore, it wo...

14. Is this even possible while in nursing school?

    racquetmom replied to Malory371's topic in General Students

    Everything that is being said on here makes perfect sense. Bottom line is do not do something unless you want to do it or you will not succeed...right? It will become a chore. Maybe your mom is trying to persuade you to stay in cheer because over ...

15. SHOES???

    racquetmom replied to ShaynaJackson's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You can do a search as there was a another site regarding shoes. IMO, you need to go to the stores and just try on all the different shoes as what people were recommending were not that comfortable to me. I had a few ideas on names from here but fr...
