   Central Pa diploma program person here. Almost all grads are offered positions at the hospital, and the local Penn State campus is where we complete our 1 year RN to BSN program. Starting rate is fantastic considering the low cost of living. Unfor...

2. Dosage Calculation Question

   ANRN2B replied to ANRN2B's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks, Don! You hit on what I did eventually figure out, that your total mL will be 52, not 54 because the order is for 20mg, not 40mg. I knew there was something I was missing at first, it just took me a few extra minutes to figure out what it wa...

3. Dosage Calculation Question

   ANRN2B replied to ANRN2B's topic in Student Assist

   Ok, I think I may have figured it out. A microdrop set equals 60gtt/min. So I have taken 54ml x 60gtt/min and divided that by 60 min. to come with an answer of 54gtt/min. I'm still not 100% sure I'm correct because I'm thinking there is still more...

   Stargazer, if I was assigned as your student nurse I would consider myself very fortunate indeed. You really seem to get where us students are coming from. It's not a matter of laziness, or unwillingness to help. I'm simply following the rules of m...

   ANRN2B replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

   Is this thread seriously for real? Nurses getting upset over the fact that students won't break the rules?? Wow... This has nothing to do with not being motivated, not wanting to take charge of my education, or stepping up to the plate, or being "b...

   ANRN2B replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

   We risk the same fate. For as much as I would love to assist and learn new tasks, I will not take the chance of getting in trouble or getting kicked out of my program. My instructor has made it VERY clear we are not to go beyond what we are allowed...

   ANRN2B replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Did I miss some details along the way? How does "sharing a chair" suddenly become "making out"??

15. Great tips for studying... review syllabus first!!

    ANRN2B replied to isa_salud's topic in General Students

    I see. I attended public school in the 80's and we basically had three choices, the academic course work, business course work, or vocational training. We were never given a syllabus of any kind. I do believe that today's students have no reason wh...
