What kind of program are you starting?

Not possible. We're talking about reconstituting a sterile powder with sterile water while maintaining sterility. You cannot dump the contents out and just mix it up for IV infusion (unless you have...

But the +/- % differential may make a difference and simplify the whole equation.

But if the grams are consistent/measureable, the fluid volume shouldn't matter.

After I wrote that I wondered if I was 100% correct about it. Do you know much (percentage-wise) it increases? Guess it might depend upon the quantity of powder.

" But unlike most meds, there isn't an insert to say "add 18.7 mL sterile water to equal 20 mL of reconstituted medication at a concentration of 58.4 mg/mL". Instead I'm adding 20 mL to equal an...

I infuse my husband weekly with our version of MiracleDrug. I think the confusion may stem from the assay of each vial. Our MD is derived from a plasma donor. Depending upon the plasma, the assay...

Superuser is an Epic position. They are trained to be of assistance in the Epic classroom and during "Go-Live" weeks. It's a temporary (usually 3 months) position and is not nursing-related.

Wish that OP would come back and weigh in......

This is someone else's thread on an entirely different subject. Try asking your question on the "Students" form (look at the yellow categories at the top of this page).

Seriously, that "small gift" is important to you as a nursing professional? How can the lack of a "small gift" be degrading to a profession?

I actually find it rather demeaning to think that my employer feels the need to "celebrate" Nurse's Day/Week by giving me a $.35 trinket (be it water bottle, fanny pack or lunchbox). My...

Are you in the armed services? That sounds like a geography difference for different locations in the country.

I'm hoping this is tongue-in-cheek....

I think CMA means certified medical assistant. OP, if you live in an at-will state, you're and your friend can be "legally" fired for any reason or for none at all. Is it possible that your...

I would think that your employer or agency would have protocols in place that you will be following. Have you been through orientation yet?

I can't help but wish that you had sought help earlier - say, when it could have made a difference in your education. At this point (graduation), it seems to me that you must keep on keepin on. ...

Wait....... So salary (if it's "poverish") DOES matter?

[/B] Seriously?? Your salary has no bearing on your life? Anyone who considers the earnings potential of a career is not worthy to be a nurse and should be a banker? Well then, I guess it...

I think the most important thing that you need to do is find a way to remove yourself emotionally from your family's negativity. Counseling, self-help books, etc. might be very useful for your state...

"I am tired of wasting my money and time on a profession that is slowly losing sight of its historical foundations and ethics." I am baffled by your last sentence. I understand that you are...

I hate to discourage you from mission work, but I do believe that it would be career suicide. The current job market for nurses is very, very tight. As was said previously, you will be an "old" new...

My employer did away with National Nurse's Week years ago. However, we still celebrate Administrative Assistants' Week, Doctor's Day, etc., etc.

I have always been suspicious of facilities that make on-the-spot job offers. Those that do are usually unhealthy facilities with poor training and high turnover. I really hate to stereotype, but...

" As I said I work with literally hundreds of BSN prepared nurses. Feedback please!" Thinking you meant to say ADN-prepared nurses? At any rate, I don't think us ADNs need worry. This...
