  3. Sterile technique & sweaty hands

    NurseJeanB replied to MoLee228's topic in General Students

  4. Injections practice?

    NurseJeanB replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

    We practiced SQ injections on each other. You of course have every right to decline, I think the odds of infection are low, but why expose yourself to any risk? Your wife can practice on herself, or...

    NurseJeanB replied to newleaf2012's topic in General Students

    The math is really dosage calculations. So if you could get a dosage calculation book it would be good. Know conversions factors such as ounces to mls, but any good dosage calculation book will give...
