I posted this question previously in the Nursing Student section of the forum. I received an answer that stated that this term RPN was used in Canada. I am confused by this term and would appreciate a response from anyone who will be able to clarif...

Ok So this is one of my best courses however I am struggling with finding the correct formula : Desired Dose/ Dose on Hand multiplied by Drug Factor or DD/DOH X DF= answer. for reconsitution of Powered Drugs. Here is what I mean: a) The doctor orders...

I got it! DD=175 g/DoH=5 g x 2 mL = 0.7 mL :)

:yeahthat:

Ok, I just wanted to see what the response to that would be to that statement. I have a true cow's milk allergy and I am allergic to soy. No one has mentioned the mere possibility that infants may in fact have allergies, and what the mother eats ce...

Hi Brown Eyed Girl, The format used by Carolinapooh is short, sweet to the point and full of tips for you to insert your own information. I'd suggest that one. Microsoft Word has software programs that have templates for cover letters to accompany y...

So you are saying that in lieu of breast milk ( and the above posted ways to get it) that the next best thing to feed an infant is a cow's milk based formula? Why?

Scored Low on everything!

Hi blue heron, I am glad to hear that you have been in contact with CMHA and the Schizophrenia Society and that the hospital that your son is staying at has resources for family members. I am a big supporter of support groups because you will meet o...

Hi, I agree with the points Earl58 and EricEnfermero made within their respective posts, however, if Nursing is what you really want to do as a career please take the time to research what support servives are available at the nursing school you are ...

blue heron, i have three links for you. each of these organizations i have worked with and can attest to the quality of information and dedication of their employees and programs. the first is for the canadian mental health association. they have p...

I know now our uniforms are going to be all white. In an earlier post I explained that another person who will be attending ns with me in the fall told me specifically that our school uniform would be white scrubs among other erroneous information. ...

I also have to add another experience that I recently had with someone. This person gave me all the wrong information about what I would need for nursing school, including information about what we wear/shoes, the wrong start and time for the first...

Not too long ago I witnessed something similar to this. Our instructor gave one lady in our class instructions for a practice exercise. As soon as the instructor left the room one of the girls in the class proceeds to repeat the instructions that t...

Try having a Newfie accent! I have been all over Canada and visited the US, South West Texas where my best friend lives. I am very proud of my heritage and my accent. Everyone that I have encountered did not treat me any differently than anyone ...

Isn't Go-Lytely an oxymoron? :rotfl:

Weird huh? I know. My son is a level 2 student and in his math books it is spelled with re. We always spelled it that way. But in the grand scheme of things it's not important just different. Célébrons nos différences!

Our spelling of the word seems to be different too. In canada, we spell it centimetre not centimeter. In french it is spelled centimètre. Pretty much said the way it reads except the è has an a or au sound to it. Our spelling for neighbour, colour ...

I am very confused about the posted french pronunciationof centimetre? Is this an American way of pronouncing it? I have never heard of it pronounced that way. Our spelling of the word seems to be different too. In canada, we spell it centimetre...

Say it isn't so. Just found out that we will be required to wear all white scrubs at nursing school. I am feeling ambivalent about this, I like the aspect that white is the traditional nurses uniform colour on the other hand they are going to be a...

:flowersfo Thanks so much for your tips, where to look and what to look for in white scrubs, how to care info and especially your collective support.

Thanks for the helpful info. Since I live in Canada and Mark's is nearby I'll go check them out first. I'll ask about the warm up jackets, only solid white I'm afraid. Do you know off hand if they have painter style scrub pants in white at Mark's? I...

That is equivalent to me saying that I am a surgeon because I can carve a turkey. :roll

I am a pre-nursing student. I will be attending an Practical Nursing Program to become a licensed LPN. I personally do not agree with anyone other than a Licensed Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse referring to themselves as Nurses. If it sticks in m...
