We don't need it. I am just taking it because I'm not entirely comfortable with some of the nursing math for the drip factors.

I don't even know if I am comfortable with the drip factors. :uhoh21: We did some IV math problems during lecture and we also need to do the exercises in the calculation book. We will have some math on the drug test, won't we? I hope it won't be too hard.

Yeah, we're supposed to have some of the problems on the pharm so that's really why I want to take the class. It's a continuing education class if you wanted to take it. I think it was $25? It's 5p-9p in Arlington at the THR building.

Do you have to be up to date in your acting skills for 2nd semester check-offs as well?

Yes, I have just finished it. I got 95 and she was right to take off some points. When I was about to discard the used syringe the plastic tab did manage to stick to my gloves so when I pulled my hand away from the sharp container the needle almost stuck me.:( I should have had the needle pointing the wall not my palm.

Also, I have noticed that the pharm review time is 0800-1130 now. Wasn't it supposted to be about 5 hours long?

Congrats on your A! It's always frustrating to make mistakes, but I always feel better about it when I can catch the mistake and learn from it. Sometimes I learn better from my mistakes than I do from all the studying in the world!

That's awesome Katie! You got an A so move on! :D

Katie- do you have a word document under the 3rd semester tab on ecampus? If you have access it to it (it's a pharm packet), would you mind sending it to me as an attachment?

Yeah, I saw that the review is losing an hour and a half and I'm curious on how it will go.....
