   Yes, of course. I initially confused myself by thinking that I needed extra information such as drop factor, but I don't. If there is 10 U in 1000 mL, then how many units will be in 60 mL? 10U/1000mL=xU/60mL x=0.6 0.6 U/60mL Convert 0.6 U to mU 1 u=1...

8. Straight A's in Science prereqs?

   1983rn4me replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got a 4.0 in all of my prereqs and it took many hours of long nights and early mornings studying. I have two small children so I made sure that I used my time wisely after they went to bed at night. I would outline what I needed to study and gave m...

9. LPN phase out d/t Medicare regulations???

   1983rn4me replied to Salesman217's topic in LPN/LVN

   In Maine, many places are no longer hiring LPN's with the exception of companies that hire home visiting nurses. Most hospitals are not all together. I was told that they are being phased out, though the LPN school here is $39,000 and still full with...

10. Anybody a nurse AND a doula?

    1983rn4me replied to chwcbesteph's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a doula and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I am also starting nursing school in the fall and I expect that my experience as a doula and CLC will come in handy. You have to always be mindful of your role though. If you are acting as a doula, yo...

    1983rn4me replied to KoKe's topic in Post Graduate

    I know of a few gals who were not accepted into the ABSN program, but were offered a spot in the traditional BSN program. Maybe not your first choice, but still a good option!

12. Was I a place holder?

    1983rn4me replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Where ever you go there will others who want to take advantage of you. Don't let others define you. Hold your high and keep moving forward. It is their loss.

    1983rn4me replied to Sarah96's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Many schools will automatically put you into their General Studies program if you apply to nursing and are not accepted. You then are able to take the pre-reqs and wait until the following year to reapply while making your application more competitiv...

14. Should a pre-nursing student get a CNA certificate/how hard is it to find a CNA job?

    1983rn4me replied to gentlerain's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think that the experience would be invaluable, but from all the nursing schools I have spoken with, it does not increase your chances of getting in. They say that being a CNA first will make nursing school easier though.
