Please excuse my possibly stupid question....what are "rolled up soakers"?

I have been trying to do research and find out what other units are doing. I come from an adult ICU unit and have been in PICU for a year. Our unit uses mostly Fentanyl, Versed and Nimbex PRN. This bothers me, but I have not been able to find a lot of info on what others are doing. Babies do self extubate much easier, and Fentanyl and Nimbex are given together, but the Nimbex really bothers me. I think the doses of the sedatives should be increased or drips started rather than leaving all the PRN's left to nursing discretion (in my opinion...lazy nurse=stoned kid). What kind of success do you have with Precedex? I went to an information dinner when I was in the adult Trauma ICU, but have never seen it used on kids. I am very interested in this topic and am hoping for more replies. I, of course, have much more to say :), but am just trying to make it short!

Yes, there is algebra, but so very, very basic- elementary type problems

Just took it last week. I scored very well, but the vocabulary/general knowledge section was difficult. There really is nothing to prepare for on that section that would help. The reading comprehension is just tedious. I would take that portion first. The math is very basic. Good luck all.
