   libragirl924 replied to purse's topic in General Nursing

   I'm also a medical transcriptionist at the moment while in school and I hear the providers using this term a lot before I started school; I had to look it up, of course, because I was totally clueless. Also, I live with and take care of my 83 y/o Gra...

   Just take a deep breath, get up, walk away and do something else for 5 minutes. THEN come back, "solve" one problem at a time, taking deep breaths between them if you need to, then solve another. Remember - you're a student and you're LEARNING.

    I had several IV questions on mine - mostly dosage & drip rates, for which the equation promptly left my brain. All I could remember from my Med Concepts class was "Want over Have." *L* Apparently, I did ok because I am now an official LPN. (...
