In our facility, it is always 20 mEq in at least 250cc or 40 in 1L at 50 - 75cc per hr. Pain is damage. It seems that IV sites don't last long after pt starts complaining of pain. Now, I don't now about any type of quick administration, I'm under ...

I may be interested in going. Do you have the website address?

What do you mean "don't burp the bubble". I think I did this one time; because, I felt and heard it. I felt that something wasn't right and felt bad about it. Prayed all night that she wouldn't bruise. This was in Level 2 clinicals. I never did ...

Congrats!!

Does anyone have suggestions on "How" to learn and retain drug information. I think we have about 25 of them to learn. I really don't know "what" to learn. Much less trying to memorize it all.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Than...

Thanks you guys!! I'll give it one heck of a try!!

Well, I went out of town last week to get away before school started. And, much to my surprise I had received a letter in the mail from the nursing department at the college. It listed pages and pages of things that I needed to get done before the ...

Tell us more about the fill in the blank...

Anything I can get my hands on.....

Sorry it has taken so long to reply back to the BB. Hi Manna, Well.... I guess you would say that I have 3 more semesters left. Last year and 1/2. However, I do plan on going through next summer. At the end of next year, I'll have an associates...

Does the benefits of being a member out way the dues?

Hello All!! My name is Melissa. I'm 37 years old, happily married with a daughter in her senior year of high school. I too have made a career change. Nursing is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. As my daughter is growing ...

We pay ~4.00 for ours. This semesters is not as thick as the last one. This one is about an inch thick.

I couldn't have said it better myself...Brownms46, good advice.

I really don't have much of an opinion of our uniforms. I guess it's because over the years they have been asked to change but refuse. Anyway, Our's are white and navy blue. We were a white top with navy blue piping and white pants during hospital...

I'm ready. Started with my list of things right after summer classes were complete. I am continually preparing for a yard sale, too. But, I don't want to do mine until next spring. In the meantime everything is boxed up and put away. My husband i...

Well, I haven't done a nursing resume, yet. But, I sure have done a great many corporate resumes. It depends on "how" your resume is structured. However, to beef up a corporate resume you could use the headings of "PAID WORK EXPERIENCE" and "UNPAI...

palesarah, Thanks for the insite. Sounds like you are finding your way!!

Have any of you lost connection with any of your friends? When I started Level 1 Nursing classes I didn't have much time for my family much less friends. I fear that through the course of my education I will lose a close friend. Honestly, my husban...

Very informative!!! Good thread.

Welcome, I think you'll find a great many career changers on the BB.

At age 37, I'm in Level 2 of 4. I'll always continually better myself. That's just the type of person I am. Does it really matter how old any of us are? Sure there are some reasons why people don't change job/get degrees/invest in things at certa...

Is it unrealistic to "think" that after nursing school when I'm back at work that things will get back to normal. For example, at one time I was working 40 hours per week, going to classes at night, had one Tennis lesson per week, spearfishing and s...

You too!! Stay tuned when you can... There will be so many posts on this BB :)

Wow!! These are amazing stories. I go to school full-time. I quit my full time job back in January. And, we are poor. My husband works full time for a power company to keep food on the table. In addition, my husband and I own and operate a part-...
