Well good for you peaceful! Want to hear something funny about dosage calc tests? We had ours the other day, and for the first time in my nursing school career, I missed one....but boy did I miss it bad. The question said "The nurse has orders to give tylenol x mg PO to the client for fever above 102 F. The client's T is 38.5 C. Should the nurse give the tylenol." Want to know my answer? Well, I messed up the stupid temperature conversion formula and kept coming up with a bizarre answer, so I finally answered "No she shouldn't give the tylenol because the client is dead with 127 F fever." What a dope .

Excuse me while I brag but I got a 100% on my drug calculation over adult critical care and Pediatric calculations Some of you may say well, good big deal. Well, it is a huge deal for me because 1)I have never got a 100% on the drug calculations on other calculation tests in the past I have gotten like 70% and had to re-take all of them. Well NO re-takes this time and 2)I have been sick lately and hopefully I will get better before I get worse because I am going to need my energy I have another test in two weeks over Newborn/pregnancy content. Well, take care.
