Thanks Daytonite for being the only one to offer help. I was looking specifically for info on 1:1000 and 5% soultion concentrations- I could not remember how much solute was in each! I was having a TOTAL brain fart- so bad it scared me!

I did end up getting a 95% on the test!!

I am thinking that quitting smoking has made my brain pretty cloudy some moments!! My brain has no idea how to function on adequate oxygenation!

Anyhow, I reviewed again in the morning and my thoughts were back and I knew what I was doing. I was the first one done with the test- and went back over problems ans still first one done by about 5 min- which made me soo nervous! I knew I either aced the test or totally flunked it! Thankfully I aced it.

You posted your plea for help later on Tuesday night when the rest of us were studying for OUR exams Wednesday morning. Don't know about the rest, but I don't go on allnurses.com before I leave for school in the morning, let alone a test day. By the time the rest of us saw your SOS, your test was done and over with.

Glad you did well, but the 'tude needs work. :crash_com:

No need to get defensive there MysimplePlan. I am not sure how you see an attidude in my posting, it was meant as a thank you for Daytonite. Something I try to do as much as possible publicly and by PM to make sure Daytonite knows she is making a difference. Perhaps you feel a little guilt or something? If that is the case it really is unnessary.

You see- Daytonite has been giving invaluable advice to many of us on here and most times daytonites posts are the most informative and well thought out as well as had the most time spent on them to offer the help. Daytonite goes way out of the way to offer support and assistance and I have learned sooo much!

When I post to a thread, any thread, I do so with the knowledge that it is going to be potentially viewed by hundreds of people. Hopefully, I'm going to say something that is going to be helpful for anyone reading the thread as well as for the OP who posed the original question.

kukukajoo, LPN · Nov 25, 2006

Daytonite- I can say personally you have provided me with some GREAT information and I am sure there are tons of others on here who have learned so much from your posts!

As far as simple plan making a comment on the time of my post- I posted originally at 2136 (9:36PM) Eastern time. That would be only 6:36pm on the west coast. You have to understand this is a 24° board as well as international. When I posted there were over 100 browsing the student forums.

No worries though, as I did find the information- in my book- and did very very well on the test (1X).

Later today I will post the information I was looking for in case someone in the future does a search and can use it. I had done a search and could not find the info anywhere.....

Thanks again Daytonite I really appreciate all you do to help and educate!!

are you serious? me feel guilty for your test panic? some other thoughts ran through my head, but guilt wasn't one of 'em.

I am not sure where your attitude came from or why you have it but I honestly think that you can find something or someone else to focus on, I mean really. Was that really necessary? Was ANY of it necessary??

I feel bad that you are that stressed to pick at something so petty and small and will assume you are just in an awful mood and stressed out latey and not take this personally. And I hope and pray that you are a lot nicer in person than your above posts make you out to be.

and you're thinkin' i'm the one stressed out 'latey'? :trout:

We all have bad days, moments, weeks, years- what's your point?????

I would rather have a moment of a brain fart than still be smoking that's for sure. Heck I'll take a dozen of them! I had originally set a date to quit as the last day of the semester as my doc warned this would happen, but since I have very serious medical problems I figured now was better than later and that I could take the temporary side effects of getting my system back to functioning without the bad chemicals in cigarettes.

I am sorry to assume you were stressed. I just figured you must be since you seem to be targeting me for some strange reason. I honestly don't get it. I expect this from my teenagers not from someone on this board. It is completely uncalled for and inappropriate. If you really feel the need, go ahead and pick and bash away. I have much bigger things in my life to deal with but this is really a nice distraction.

No offense, but when I read this...(bold is mine)

Thanks Daytonite for being the only one to offer help.

...I got a little huffy too. I saw your post the morning of your test but wasn't really sure what you were asking (definition of ratio vs. percentage, how to convert between them... etc.) and Daytonite had already answered your question with several helpful websites. Knowing how helpful Daytonite and her library of helpful websites are, I didn't feel I had anything further to contribute, so I didn't respond, and I would not be surprised to learn that other posters felt the same way.

To me, the quoted phrase (especially "being the only one to offer help") read as "and phooey on all you others who read my post and didn't respond", which I felt had some attitude in it, but I chose to ignore it.

Anyhoo, I'm over it, just trying to help you understand why the other poster may have felt you had attitude issues. Tone is incredibly hard to get across in text, so many times things are taken the wrong way, and at least in my case, this was probably one of those times.
