  1. If you fail one class do you fail out of nursing school?

    Tharem replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    It depends on the school. At mine you have to complete four prerequisites before you enter the program. Because it's very competitive you have to do very well in those four courses, basically A's,...

  5. IV Math Problems HELP!!!!!

    Tharem replied to Team Player's topic in General Students

    Team Player, I think you would really benefit from a book on dimensional analysis for medical dosages. It's a consistent and simple technique that sorts the logic out for you automatically. Then you...

  6. IV Math Problems HELP!!!!!

    Tharem replied to Team Player's topic in General Students

    What is it that you would divide by 60 minutes? The only units you would ever have to convert into minutes would be 'hours', as in problems that contain 'mL/hr' and that you need to result in...

  7. Could somebody please explain hydrostatic and oncotic pressure?

    Tharem replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    From inside the capillaries, think of hydrostatic pressure as the 'pushing force', pushing the fluid out of the capillaries. It's the result of the actual pressure of the fluid on the capillary walls....

  8. Assistance

    Tharem replied to nursing_is_caring08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you talking about NSO? We have to have that as well. Once you purchase it you can have them send you the certificate through email so you can print it out and give it to your school right away,...

  9. IV Math Problems HELP!!!!!

    Tharem replied to Team Player's topic in General Students

    amyb2684, note the order is for 1200units/hr, not 12,000. Using dimensional analysis: 1200units...X... 250mL ....=..12mL

  10. IV Math Problems HELP!!!!!

    Tharem replied to Team Player's topic in General Students

    Yes, #2 is 12mL/hr. #5 is 19gtt/min. Using dimensional analysis, set up the problem with the data provided so that all units except those desired at the end (gtt/min) cancel out, then do the math:...

  11. Help !!

    Tharem replied to JillFRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At our school we can't use calculators on math tests, and really, they're not needed, because it always comes down to simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division once you have the logic...

  12. Im Totally New To Everything! Need Help!

    Tharem replied to PINNIE77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This in itself is a strategy, but it's not necessarily the strategy that best fits your program. Like I said above, it was better for me to spread my prereqs over two semesters. Don't be in such a...

  13. Im Totally New To Everything! Need Help!

    Tharem replied to PINNIE77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really should know the exact requirements of your program and then come up with a strategy to complete them successfully. For example, what are the prerequisite courses? What are the exact...

  14. Accepted! Need some advice!

    Tharem replied to JuRsEyGuRL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh that's excellent, the experiences of senior students can be invaluable, but I would suggest that you take horror stories about particular professors with a grain of salt - people have different...

  15. Question about Equivalents...HELP!

    Tharem replied to Megs7617's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The real issue is that the Apothecary and Household systems are not as mathematically exact as the metric system. You may find near exact equivalents published in some places, such as 1 gram ≈...

  16. Parkinson's Disease

    Tharem replied to pdmech73's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds great except in the second paragraph, line 10 has an extra 'they', in line thirteen 'tones' should be changed to 'tone' followed by a comma, and in line seventeen there should be a comma after...

  17. Accepted! Need some advice!

    Tharem replied to JuRsEyGuRL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!! Do you have an orientation before classes start? If you do that will be your best guide for how to prepare for your particular school. Hopefully you'll have some time to do some...

  18. CNA turned me off

    Tharem replied to dipsett08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't quite see the logic of this. In any case, don't judge all of nursing by what CNA's alone do. I'm a nursing student so i'm not speaking from experience but from what I hear, yes there is dirty...
