1. NCLEX for PDA?

   *CJA* replied to *CJA*'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I bought Saunder's for the PDA from Barnes and Noble. It didn't come with the book - which is fine because I already have the book. It was cheaper than Skyscape. It has 5000 questions and is very...

2. NCLEX for PDA?

   *CJA* replied to *CJA*'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I have the Lippincott book, which came with a CD which also had PDA questions on it. The book has that many questions, but not the PDA. If you do buy one of these, could you please post how many PDA...

   I'm looking for NCLEX review questions for my PDA (pocket pc). I have Lippincott's but it only has 300 questions and it seems like the same ones come up over and over. Does anyone have any of the...

   *CJA* replied to timjo's topic in General Nursing

   I am 51 and will graduate with my BSN in December of this year. I really wondered if I would have the stamina to make it through 12 hour shifts. Now I think maturity actually helps with this. We know...

5. Math Help? What is the correct answer.

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   The way this problem is worded is very, very typical. It's just that the /d or per day is left out. Without exception, in my med calc book, all the examples that have the words "divided doses" also...

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   OK, well I would go to the instructor or TA and politely ask to see the problem correctly worked

7. Math Help? What is the correct answer.

   *CJA* replied to shady_angelz's topic in General Nursing

   You are right, but this is a test question, not real world. Why would it say "divided doses" if it was per dose? I think it has to be per day. But then, the OP says it's getting marked wrong. All I...

11. I have insomnia!!!

    *CJA* replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    I've tried Valerian Root a long time ago but OMG, the smell, the aftertaste! But maybe I'll give it another go. Those energy drinks don't do a thing for me. BTW, I have tried Rx for sleep, but...

13. ? for nursing students

    *CJA* replied to ibmaryann's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    MED CALC. We got tested on it the first day of class. We were expected to know it going in. Also, you could email your instructors and ask for the reading assignments to get started on - there is SO...

14. how do you introduce yourself to patients?

    *CJA* replied to panamama's topic in General Nursing

    These are my questions, as well. Why do nurses have a bigger security issue than doctors do? Anyway, I think it's Suzanne Gordon's viewpoint that has my school teaching us to intro ourselves with...
