*CJA*

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 easy to use.

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 questions there really are? Thanks, C

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 others? How many questions does the PDA version have? Thank you so much. C

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 we have to go to bed early the night before, get adequate nutrition, wear good shoes, etc, and we do what we have to do to take care of ourselves. I do recommend getting into the best physical shape you can before starting, but that really applies to young people, too. There are plenty of "kids" in my class who have back and foot problems, also some that are always looking for a place to sit down, or a break. Sometimes I think I go too far in the other direction so that nobody will say, she's too old. But really, I never get the feeling that anyone is thinking that. Just do it! The longer you wait, the older you'll be.

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 have /d or per day and the answer would have been 750 mg. I hope she gets back to us with an explanation about what they wanted.

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

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 can say is I'm glad I'm not in that class, 'cause there's probably going to be a big fight over this one.

66 lbs/2.2 = 30 kg body wt 50 mg x 30 kg = 1500 mg/day 1500mg/2 = 750 mg/dose I have seen this type of problem on many med calc tests. Must be able to do them!!

Do you want to teach? Here's a link about scholarships for grad school for future faculty (includes a need-based grant for living expenses): http://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/admissions/mhec-scholarship.htm

I allow my husband to sleep with me. Same problem. I am going to the doctor on Thurs. I have tried lots of OTC and Rx - haven't found the right thing yet. I know it's partially hormonal.

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 despite promises to the contrary, they make me sleepy all the next day.

Can't sleep either.

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 much reading. Good luck!

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 both first and last name. She will be an adjunct/guest faculty member at my school in the fall.

Are the doctors' last names also on the back of the badge?
