I am a new nurse who has been working in ICU straight out of school. I have always known I wanted to work with babies and thought getting ICU experience would help me achieve that goal. I have been working on my unit as an RN for approx. 8 months n...

I'm about to start 221 on Thursday of this week and our first Math test is Friday.....some of the math is repetitive from previous semesters and I'm ok with that but this new stuff with microdrip, mcg and trying to figure how much runs per minute is ...

Omg you are too funny! I just got done playing FARKLE on facebook cuz I thought I was going to stroke out from the damn math....lol, I've pretty much got the mcg/kg/min ones down...there are just a few that stump me everytime I see them and I've don...

My problem is being able to look at the problem and determining what I need to do first. I've always made story problems harder than they are and that is basically what these are. Once I get the formulas down I'll be good but trying to learn this o...

I'm trying to figure out how to set us these new equations with mcg, microdrips...etc, are there examples somewhere I'm missing? I see practice problems and answers but that doesn't help me. Can anyone help please???? I have a test on Friday!!!!!

I guess I'll have to look at the module better cuz I didn't see set up for the problems and thats exactly what I need!!! Thanks for advice!

Yeah I need to get studying the math I've been procrastinating!!!! Yes we will be in orientation together....I can't believe I've went thru the first yr with all these people and yet I don't know one person in my clinical group!!!!! I am in the acce...

I guess anything is possible I wouldn't do it!!!!! I'm second year and I see people fail out who are only taking nursing classes, its just not worth it to chance it....good luck with your decision:)

I'm doing a care plan of risk for infection on my pt who had a hysterectomy and they perforated her bowel, which lead to a bowel resection. I'm just having a hard time with it and was hoping I could get some direction???? Any advice would be greatly...

You have so much knowledge and I see it in every one of your posts....I thought a little more about it and actually changed my dx to pain before I even read your reply...lol. I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad that someone like you actually tak...

Don't mean to step on anyones toes but you actually only get two chances to pass the pharm, it's 3 for math! The math is very simple, just basic conversions and this is from someone who HATES math...lol! We did lose 3 people because of the pharm an...

Ditto to the above post? I was just about to ask the same thing....curious?????

Well, I had big plans...get things done around the house that have been neglected, make my drug cards, start my research paper, complete my cultural survey, study....OH YEAH BUT I'VE BEEN SICK AS HELL SINCE MONDAY! Uhgggggg and it doesn't seem to be...

The schedule tells you what time class starts....that means you are supposed to be there at that time!!!!! Not whenever you wake up! We all manage to get here on time and so can you! Oh yeah, when it says no jeans in practice skills lab, that means...

I find that I retain things better if I look for answers to specific questions while reading the chapters. For instance, the questions at the end of each chapter or one of your online programs (we have many) that coordinate with the textbook. I als...

Hello my fellow HFCC students:typing, has anyone had or heard anything about clinical instructor C.L.??????? If so please let me know....I didn't get her but a friend of mine did and is curious. I got T.S. and I also have her for 120/126 and so fa...
