  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."...

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

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    "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...

  3. Stupid medication question

    MiRnSoon replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

  4. 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...

  5. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

    MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    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...

  7. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

    MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    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...

    MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    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...

  10. 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...

  11. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    MiRnSoon replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    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!...

  12. Paying for nursing school?

    MiRnSoon replied to jaytek13's topic in Michigan Nursing

    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...

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

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

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, I didn't interview with St John. The postion sounded like a CNA and I don't really want to do that. I currently work at a local hospital inpatient pharmacy and will stay there for a little while....

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

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

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    GPA 3.9, Hesi 88. The Math portion saved my butt. No it's not a secret, a lot of large words and some medical terminology that I don't think a lot of people expected. No specifics are really coming...

    MiRnSoon replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've frequented Work 'n Gear quite a lot. They are located in Roseville at Masonic and Gratiot. Their prices are reasonable, most unisex scrubs start at $9.99. Good luck!

  20. ADN vs. BSN

    MiRnSoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I will be starting an ADN program in October and from reading quite a few threads on this board it, I feel some negativity toward ADNs. Does a riff between ADN and BSN truly exist? I chose the...
