Friday the 31st is the "Moment of Truth" for me

Published

I know my studying was stop and go, but one thing I know for sure is I got Infection Control, Safety and Priority down hopefully. I spent good weeks on em. Now, Pharm meh. I test on Friday. Just finished QBank with a 60% completion. Not high, I know. I did some of my tests over. I did my weak areas as "Study Mode"

Yes, Kaplan is hard and sometimes tricky and confusing. One word costs me many questions (infant, elderly, this or that disease...) I ame doing QT4 now and plan on doing 7 tomorrow.I will do em quick with no doubting, but well thought answers. So far, I have gotten 49, 60, 52 on QTs 1-3

What should I do tomorrow?

My plan so far is go over shock, electrolyte Imbalance symptoms, Drugs suffixes, Decision tree, diet and Lab values. I will look at Infection Control Friday Morning before I go.

I feel heavy and stressed now. All my classmates are passing and I feel so behind.

ANy thought is appreciated. Thanks for your support to all (Ujones, Ktie). I will not let you guys down. I promise, but :(:confused:

i saw a post here saying RSV IS CONTACT BUT KAPLAN HAS IT AS droplets, i think it's droplet. Every one agrees? WAIT! can anyone do this calculation.

pt receiving 40 drops per min of D5W, the set delivers 10 drops per ml. if you begin infusing 1000 mls of D5W @12noon. How many mls of d5w will be remaining @3:30?

Hope everything goes well. Remember to relax and have a good day today before the test tomorrow. You can do anything you put your mind too. WHEN you pass the test, you should look at halfoffscrubs for great deals on scrubs. I just bought alot for my nurses around here and they love them. (halfoffscrubs.com) GOOD LUCK!

1. We want mLs remaining @ 3:30 (1530 or 3.5 hrs) of 1000. Hang at 1200

Look for the time. 1530-1200=3.5 hrs or 210 mn

2. 40 gtt/mn @ 10 gtt/mL. Remember we looking for mL, right? So, we will say 40gtt/1mn=10gtt/1mL which gives 4 mL/ min as the rate before infusion even starts.

3. At 330, it would run for 210 mn. We don't know how many mL will be delivered for 210 mn, but we know for 1mn we have 4mL. Look at 2.

so this gives 4 mL/1mn=XmL/210 mn which gives 840 . 840 mL represent what will be given over 3.5hrs

4. Question asked what will be reamaining, so they want the difference:

Initial Volume (1000mL)-Volume run over 3.5 hrs (840)= 160 mL

Hope I am right. :D

yea you're right. i hope we both pass, when will you test? Do you think you're ready, are you taking kaplan also? Thenurse2b08 i hope we both pass let me know how the studies going and we can exchange ideas.

I am testing tomorrow and I am anxious. I know my math is ok with Room assignments and some Infection control, but the little details :crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2:
