1. When to dilute IV push meds ???

   MiRnSoon replied to RNNC2003's topic in General Nursing

   "In Australia the containers that hold pottasium are similar to the ones that hold sterile water and normal saline, (10ml), only the colour of the writing is different. I hope this is changed soon." Why do you have K on the floor? That's just asking...

2. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

   MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan

   "Can someone who's already taken the HESI give me a few examples of the vocabulary that was on there? The study guide lists a few pages but they're more general medical terms, nothing specific like you would cover in an A&P class. I'm starting to...

3. Stupid medication question

   MiRnSoon replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

   "There are 50 doses per Advair discus I believe. A number reading is near the mouthpiece to let you know when it is getting low" It's 28 doses per inhaler and available in at least three different strengths. Which I cannot remember off the top of my...

5. Unasyn dosing question

   MiRnSoon replied to shtinkypuppie's topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently a inpatient hospital Pharm tech (about 5years now), soon to be RN student. Your calculation sounds correct to me. Combination drugs are usually only dosed upon one component. Unasyn being a combination drug, is only dosed upon the ampic...

6. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

   MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan

   No, I still had psych and ethics to take. For MCC you only have to take the math, vocab, grammar and reading comprehension portions of the HESI. So having your pre-reqs done isn't a necessity. But completing A&P and psych would be beneficial f...

   MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan

   Composition 1, Intro to Psych, A&P, Nutrition,Intro to Ethics or Comparative Religion and Microbiology (not a true pre-req but has to be completed before 2nd semester of nursing classes). The school looks at your last 12 credits + the score of t...

8. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

   MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan

   If I were you I'd shoot for Fall.. You are still working on pre-reqs right? The only two you may have trouble getting into would be A/P and micro..those two tend to fill up fast, and if you are planning on applying for Fall '07 you'll have until pr...

9. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

   MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan

   Ditto. I've been at MCC since Winter of '05 and am starting the RN program in October. I HIGHLY recommend Macomb over many schools in the area. I attended OU after graduating HS 10 years ago and have found that my experience at MCC so far has been mu...

11. It's official, I'm stupid!

    MiRnSoon replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    OK so I'm not an RN yet, but I think what you did was appropriate. You're not odd and definitely not stupid. If I were your patient and you took the time to explain to me meds/procedures that I didn't understand or have any knowledge of, I would b...

12. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan

    No it isn't worth the $40. I actually gave mine away and suggested she do the same after looking through it. Check out the site below talking about the same topic. Good luck to you! https://allnurses.com/forums/f154/any-michiganders-take-hesi-rece...

13. Paying for nursing school?

    MiRnSoon replied to jaytek13's topic in Michigan

    I'd highly recommend getting into a hospital in any position that you can. Being that you don't have any experience with CNA I'm not sure how much luck you'll have in obtaining a position. I know of quite a few people that have started out in dietar...

14. What's the weirdest baby name?

    MiRnSoon replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Cash Monae, if that doesn't predestine a child to become a stripper I don't know what would.

15. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan

    What phys ed class can you take online? If you don't have your CPR certification I would recommend the First Aid/CPR class. I know I said this before but don't stress out you have plenty of time!
