Hi, I just started nursing school in August. If I could do it again I would have taken a refresher course in dosage calculations. If this is not available to you get the book Calculate with Confidence. I am not so good at math either. Get your fundam...

I got the E2 a few months ago. You do have to charge before setup. When you put the CD in it should automatically come up and walk you through. Guess what my CD was blank! I had to call (got the number off the website) and wait 5 days for them to sen...

I worked in home health as an aid and I worked 3 days a week from 9 to 1:00 or 2:00. I think this would be a good fit for you. HTH carilyn

My CC does not require NA training, but my sister graduated from a CC in north Ohio and was required to get NA training. She said that it was because so many got into the program and then dropped cause they didn't really know what they were getting i...

I found out yesterday that we wear caps. I thought those were obsolete. I thought they carried germs in and out of the hospital so nurses stopped wearing. Any other schools wear caps?

try Medical Spanish Made Incredibly Easy at amazon or barnes & noble HTH carrie

Yes, this would be discriminatory. I know there will be male students but I don't think I will be starting any trouble about it. LOL

My instructor recommended the book A&P made incredibly easy. I have to do a self-study and take a test because it has been more than 3 years since I took A&P. You can order online at amazon or barnes & noble.

I have an associates degree, does this mean I won't get any aid if I go to nursing school. thanks
