    Med Calc Help!!

    Rose_Queen replied to xnursingstu1995's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Guy in Babyland, I probably added extra steps. I was taught one way where you figure out volume infused and use thy number to calculate the units. Hard to break old habits, even when others show...

    Abandonment

    Rose_Queen replied to 128black's topic in General Nursing

    Give what to the supervisor? Report? If report was given and care of the patient(s) assumed by another nurse, then no, it's not abandonment. Every nurse needs to read and be familiar with the nurse...

    What to wear to a interview

    Rose_Queen replied to magigal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At my last interview, I went business casual with a blouse and slacks. I would definitely go with that as a minimum. Beyond that, why not check out the interview forum? Lots of good articles there...

    Med Calc Help!!

    Rose_Queen replied to xnursingstu1995's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, the 50mL bag is very important. That tells you the total volume being infused over 20 minutes. The part you don't need is the drip rate factor of the IV tubing. Step 1: Figure out...

    Med Calc Help!!

    Rose_Queen replied to xnursingstu1995's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1. What is your rate? 2. After 12 min, how much solution has infused? 3. In that amount, how many units of ampicillin? Nursing math is not difficult- it's fairly simple algebra. You need to be able to...

    Double check your resignation policy- you may find that you must give more than just two weeks to remain eligible for rehire. My facility requires 4

    Am I too old to become an RN??

    Rose_Queen replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    The age thing is going to be extremely personal. I don't think any one person can tell you whether you're too old or not- that's going to be a personal decision involving where you are in life and...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    Rose_Queen replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Emergencies On Call

    Wrong is right CPR question

    Rose_Queen replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in General Nursing
