FCCJ SPRING 2010

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I went and got my polos and skills kit today. Now all I have left is the Box'O'Books

Can anyone tell me the ISBN# for the Dosage Calculations book. The ISBN# on the sheet they gave us at orientation is wrong. The book they used last semester is the 2006 edition and they are coming out with a 2010 edition in January. Which book are we using? Has anyone bought this book from the bookstore? What color is the cover? Thanks so much! Any info is apprecaited.

It is 9781418015633 Dosage calculations a ratio-proportion approach. It has a kind of burnt orange cover with a black stripe with the title in it. I'm pretty sure the second edition.

What is everyone studying for dosage calculations? Is it chapters 1-4 or just the stuff on the study sheets? I know that she said that we didn't need to know everything in the chapters, but I am slightly confused.

Topics 1 and 2 are the only things being covered on Test 1, look at the independent study ppt and it will tell you what parts of Ch1-4 you need to know for the exam! :)

Thank you FutureRNMom!

awesome - thanks so much and sorry to ask the same question - there were just so many posts! Anyway - if you need this book it is on half.com for like $25:)

So, I just wanted to get some opinions and thoughts... Are you guys as scared as I am? OMG, I am finding myself totally freaking out over this dosage calculation stuff, I know that it is pretty basic math but I still keep asking myself if I can do this!! It is crazy and I think I am just panicking and over reacting but I wanted to see how everybody else is doing??? Hopefully, better than I am!

The first dosage calc test is easy (well, for me it was). All you need to do is remember some conversions (ie: divide weight in pounds by 2.2 to get kgs.) Aside from the conversions they teach you, it is just basic math. You will get to IV calcs in second term.

So far I have gotten 100% on every dosage calc test.

Thanks FLmom

I think I am just freaking out! I know I can do it but it is scary to think that someone could flunk out the first day of nursing school! Yeah, I am over reacting.

I have to start studying the dosage calculations, I have been reviewing the med term which seems fairly easy! Can't believe we start school in 11 days!!!! I so wish this time would slow down, I am not ready to give my life up quite yet! lol
