2. The Nursing Math Thread

   summer-dreamer replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   Hello! I hope I am posting this question in the right area: I'm working on a math sheet to challenge a nursing calculation course at my college. I answered most of the questions okay, but there were a few I'm confused about: 1. Calculate the drip rat...

   I haven't been in nursing for too long, but I do remember one funny incident while still in nursing school. I was on an out-rotation visiting a same-day surgery site. While watching a pt's gamekeeper thumb injury being repaired, the scrub nurse assis...

9. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

   summer-dreamer replied to myperads's topic in North Carolina

   It really isn't easy for new graduates to find a job especially in this economy. I graduated from a practical nursing school back in June 2010, took my boards and became an LPN back in October. Up until January, I was having a really hard time looki...
