   PICUFL replied to PICUFL's topic in General Students

   One value to the right of the tenths spot makes sense!....thank you so much!

4. Math help! When to round up.

   PICUFL replied to PICUFL's topic in General Students

   I understand that rounding 2.5mls to 3mls is giving more medication that required. Our instructors tell us to round to the nearest tenth spot....I guess that is what is messing me up!

5. Math help! When to round up.

   PICUFL posted a topic in General Students

   When can you round up on a dosage problem? Why can you round 0.75mls to 0.8mls but cannot round 2.5mls. I know you round to the nearest tenth.... isn't the tenth spot the first number after the decimal or do I have it all wrong?

7. Vanderbilt Pay Scale

   PICUFL replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Tennessee

   New grads make about $2-$3 less per hour that other hospitals around. It is a teaching hospital so you make less but you do gain a lot of experience. You can make up for the pay difference if you are going to school...say BSN or MSN..because they pay...

   I would share your worries with your clinical instructor just to give her a heads up. Explain that you have never had a reaction like that before. It is ok for us nurses to let our *super-de-grossing* powers slack a little. There is still one thing t...

12. Any information on Aquinas?

    PICUFL replied to abrainerd's topic in Tennessee

    I think anywhere you go these days you need to have a pretty good GPA and NET score. Aquinas is just as competitive to get into as the rest - but many may choose not to go there due to the price (although Belmont is much higher). As far as your pre-r...

    I live in Spring Hill and I love it! Very fast growing... we are getting more and more places to go! A hospital is even in the picture... will have a GYN service- not sure about L&D though. I work at Vanderbilt and it takes me about 35-40 minutes...

    Hello! I am not sure what part of TN you are in but I wanted to let you know that if you work full time at Vanderbilt (60h in 2 weeks) they pay a big portion of your tuition. You have to have worked at Vanderbilt for 3 months at full time status to q...
