  1. Flunking

    Tharem replied to dimargar77's topic in General Students

    Some people are better at math, and some people are better at writing and expressing themselves

  2. Medmath

    Tharem replied to KEYZ75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Keyz your answers are mostly correct except in no. 2, we're taught that 1tsp. = 5mL so the answer would be 2tsp. (i'm assuming they asked for the answer in teaspoons, that wasn't shown in your work)....

    Tharem replied to KEYZ75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes there

  4. Looking for a good nursing school to get into? any advise?

    Tharem replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York Nursing

    Are you sure that this applies to students already in the program? That doesn't sound right. At my school once you're in the program you're assured a seat in every class from that point on (as long as...

  5. math test, everyone failed

    Tharem replied to margaretofcastello's topic in General Students

    The arithmetic is basic but the methodology isn't necessarily straight forward. It requires some teaching or at least learning from a medical dosages textbook to fully grasp the

  6. Looking for a good nursing school to get into? any advise?

    Tharem replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York Nursing

    Really? So you may have to sit out a semester if you don't make the lottery for that

  7. Looking for a good nursing school to get into? any advise?

    Tharem replied to 2bRN Care's topic in New York Nursing

    I think all of the local community colleges are hard to get into. Your GPA is competitive so you have at least a chance of getting in. As far as it taking a long time, I don't quite understand what...

    Tharem replied to kellyc034's topic in General Students

    Role-confusion r/t peer pressure aeb boyfriend pressuring toward sexual

  9. Should I go to the Dean?

    Tharem replied to 3perfectcats's topic in General Students

    It seems pretty clear to me that your good faith adherence to the 50min rule was used against you, particularly in light of the fact that the other groups were allowed to violate it without...

  10. math test, everyone failed

    Tharem replied to margaretofcastello's topic in General Students

    I don't know. Different schools have different methods. At my school there's a dosage calc course that everyone has to take which pretty much prepares you for any type of calculation. You can take it...

  11. Help another Medmath please help

    Tharem replied to dobletruble's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your problem should also state what you're looking for. I assume it's mL/hr. Start by calculating how many mcg/min is ordered by multiplying 5mcg by 70.7kg, which equals 353.5mcg/min. Now convert that...

  12. Help another Medmath please help

    Tharem replied to dobletruble's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, you know she's receiving 60 drops per minute, and that each mL contains 20 drops, so each minute she is receiving 3mL. If there are 150mg of drug in each 1000mL of solution, then there are...

  13. Help with nursing math please

    Tharem replied to fishchick72's topic in General Students

    i don't think the age of the thread has anything to do with the accuracy or inaccuracy of the answers, but thanks for directing my attention to the new problem, because that's incorrect as well:...

  14. Help with nursing math please

    Tharem replied to fishchick72's topic in General Students

    yes, 800mg is the dose desired, but that's not what the question asked. the question states:"a dose of 640 mg/100 ml d5w is being administered daily. for a client weighing 176 lbs, how many mg/kg/day...

  15. Had to leave a nursing program will I get into another

    Tharem replied to BettyBluedalle's topic in New York Nursing

    They won't hold your place so you could take a year or so to work and save money? It just seems like it should be unnecessary to have to go through the whole process of trying to get into another...

  16. How much chemistry is there in NS?

    Tharem replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in General Students

    You don't actually do anything you learned in Chemistry, like balancing formulas, calculating molecular weight, counting electron bands, naming chemical structures, etc. It just serves to make the...

  17. Dropping out of Nursing School - help!

    Tharem replied to nursetobein2010's topic in General Students

    Congratulations, it's not easy to make a 180 in your career path like that, but from the sound of it, it was the right decision. I hope you get into a great

  18. Current Bmcc Student, Need Advice.

    Tharem replied to Gman19's topic in New York Nursing

    It's sounds like you're in fairly good shape - you have support, you have a plan, I think what you need at this point is patience - you're young and you have time to do what you have to do. So what if...

  19. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    Tharem replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    waaaaaay

  20. Dropping out of Nursing School - help!

    Tharem replied to nursetobein2010's topic in General Students

    Take the 'W' instead of a failure. You can be honest and explain what happened and your reasons for doing it at the new school. If it's a good program with good people they'll understand. Your...

  21. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    Tharem replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    That's a good idea. I think it would both less offensive and more effective coming from an instructor rather then a

  22. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Tharem replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I gotta admit ADPIE10, you're funny. I mean, thanking people that criticize you, it's refreshing. I don't quite understand your logic, but you seem like a nice

  23. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Tharem replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Really? You posted this in the student forum. Who else would be asking the instructor a question? The title of your thread, as well as the reference to frustration in the text strongly indicates...

  24. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Tharem replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I agree that instructors shouldn't hold their students to professional standards if they don't live up to them themselves. There is a teacher at my school who was eventually removed from her teaching...

  25. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Tharem replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I think the reason people are 'reading too much into the question' is because your original question was ridiculously vague. If you want accurate answers you have to ask accurate questions. Expecting...
