   Wow! This must really be a tough time for you. Thank you so much for sharing. This will definitely help me better assess a career in nursing before it is too late. Particularly, the things I don't really wish to see. Since I have trouble even prickin...

2. The Nursing Math Thread

   CareRx replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   You set up the problem right. Here you don't worry about minutes because you are ask the answers in mg/hr or ml/hr respectively. 25,000 units / 250ml x 30 ml / hr = 3000 units / hr If the question wanted to know in #2 how many units per mn? 25,000 ...

3. Food for thought

   CareRx replied to CareRx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you so much! I am not sure why I'm feeling this way. In my youth, I racked up all the good grades believing I'll find the perfect career. But this is far from reality. I see people here that comes from different background and for one reason or...

4. Food for thought

   CareRx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So it seems a lot of people on here are career changers. Just like me, many are worried about accumulated debt and have come to notice that perhaps, nursing is that one career that may bail them out and that, surprisingly, they might actually like nu...

7. Career Switch Update

   CareRx replied to CareRx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I guess I am more confused than when I posted first time about career switch. I'm hoping scoring above 90% (took all the sections) in the Kaplan test among other things will let the school know that I'm ready for the rigors of nursing school. And be...

8. Career Switch Update

   CareRx replied to CareRx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In pharmacy, many students had pharmacy tech license, hence they have a part-time throughout school or summer. Some engineering students who knew they would go engineering route, are math/science tutors or have engineering drafting license. Given th...

9. Career Switch Update

   CareRx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Over the last week, I discovered this great site and I received lots of advice as to how to proceed with my life. As you may know, I'm in my first year of pharmacy school. This spring was not a really good one and given that year 2 is much more inte...

10. The Nursing Math Thread

    CareRx replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Without trying to confuse you too much, allow me to suggest a fantastic method to solving multiple-step problems. The cure: Dimensional analysis! You'll see it in chemistry and especially dosage problems. #2. Notice: 50mg in 250ml means 50mg/250ml a...

11. What if I fail again?

    CareRx replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing

13. 15 posts rule?

    CareRx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    So I'm trying to reply to a message only to find out that I don't have 15 posts to reply to a message. So I can't even thank the person for much needed advice. Whoever thought of that... Brilliant!

14. I envy you

    CareRx replied to CareRx's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I appreciate your thoughts. They should serve me well. There is always a fear factor when one switches career plans... Once I get over that, I should enjoy it throughout. For me, I suppose the greatest fear is having loans over 100K when I'm done. I...

15. What if I fail again?

    CareRx replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Whoa! I apologize if I came across that way. That was not my intention. Nowadays, it is tough to speak the truth on the merits. We sugarcoat things so much that we fail to do the hard and necessary work. I have known many people in my short life who ...
