   matt1924 replied to matt1924's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you for the clarification. That's the justification I was looking for. And for the other issue with the wheeze, we had a question today that threw us all for a loop as well. We were given a simulated chart with two oral and two parenteral medic...

2. IV Calculation

   matt1924 replied to matt1924's topic in Student Assist

   I'm glad you guys are responding to this, I am genuinely curious as to what other professionals think and I'm not trying to be difficult, I promise. However, I tend to agree with Don1984 in that her use of "q" instead of "over" can be misleading. Its...

   I would assume that it is Volume 1, though I don't remember anyone being specific. The first volume states at the beginning of the chapter the "theoretical knowledge," and the second volume "practical knowledge." So it is my belief that we should hav...

   matt1924 replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, those are some ignorant words from your dad! I finally decided to buckle down and get my schooling done a little over two years ago at 28- with five kids! Luckily for me, my wife is very supportive and though I have worked a more-than-full-time ...

   matt1924 replied to jells's topic in South Carolina

   yep, its posted on webadvisor for me. i've got a question though- for our watches, did the instructor specify whether a wrist watch or pocket watch was required? I haven't worn one in years, but would assume a pocket watch with a clip of sorts would ...

    I spoke with the assistant today and she said it could be picked up on Monday, I was going to pick mine up today, but she was leaving at 3 so I didn't have time after work. I think the class starts before the offices open.
