One A, the rest are Bs. Got all without trying. I'm confident I can get As if i study a little like I plan to for the remainder of the program. Majority of my classmates study alot (or claim to) and are either mid-low Bs or on the borderline of passi...

if theyre all equivalent, i'd go with the one that interests me the most, which are A and B. i bet theyre all "easy" tho. A seems practical like something i could put to use, hence making it easier to relate to. the nutr class i took was like this on...

I once had a (temporary) supervisor like this. Psycho and unprofessional.

how important is it to know dosages and therapeutic levels?

Thanks. You may be right when you say luck of the draw b/c a lot of people such as yourself say 3-5; but then some say over half the questions were pharm. I've never heard anyone mention dosages or therapeutic levels.

Seems so weird, especially considering the nurses and MD here didn't have an answer off hand. I'd try to get my CI or course instructor involved to get that nurse off my back. Must be annoying!

:yeahthat:

here's my tip: if you ever find yourself up late at night unable to sleep but wanting to, pull out your fundamentals textbook and start reading. you'll either 1) learn something or 2) find yourself in dreamland. win-win situation imo.

what an ugly comment. who needs a nurse with a bad attitude like that? i wouldnt be comfortable leaving pt with that nurse. i'm "just" a student, unfamiliar with the inner workings of life on the floors, but i think i would have discussed the situati...

Sorry, except for being mistaken as doctors, which is beyond a male nurse's control, I don't see how any of this is specific to males. Hate men much?

Just curious, but what do you find acceptable? I'd bet 100 out of 100 pts would prefer the right dose of drug, suicidal patients excluded. Now getting marked off for putting a trailing zero or answering in mL instead of tsp or something, I can accept...

wow. just wow. 4 tabs x (100mg/tab) x (gr/60mg) =6.67 gr

awesome. new way of sneaking gummi bears into diet. *drools*

I guess it depends on what you want to do. Do you want to work in PICU? Do you want to go on to become an RN? If it were me, and the answer to both was yes, I'd consider the LPN route a delay; the CC/Picu combo to be a win-win.

oh come on im pretty sure its a piece of cake. you just find someone at a diff hosp who wants to swap...and the details take care of themselves. i mean its a business, afterall. doesnt the same sort of thing happen in the fast food biz? you know, li...

thats the coolest thing ever if you can do that

Nah, not the material. It's that there's alot of info to cover in so little time and they waste your precious little time with so much useless busy work (care plans, papers, computer tests, and more). I also feel like I've had my chain yanked by them...

Simplified problem, but I think it's really cool they're making you analyze the data like that in the intro class. First things first. "Just in case." Q1: What is GDP? A: It's a measure of how much the economy is producing. Q2: What is GDP per capit...

I seriously don't get this. It sounds like this is a lower div class. I dont see why you'd have to calculate anything in there since it's just overview. If it's an upper div econ class, you have the math tools to calculate this. Supply and demand cur...

situation: terminally ill pt with a smoking addiction confused @ what my interventions should be. for someone not terminally ill, i would think education, referral to services, etc. so that person could make a lifestyle change for the better. but fo...

thk u, thk u. this is for a case study presentation @ end of life care for a hypothetical pt who just learned that her lung cancer is no longer treatable, then becomes confused n angry. a subtopic that needs to be addressed is care and available inte...

thx. do you even bother w/ pt education about health benefits of stopping? are there any interventions to make r/t the addiction?

16 hrs for a care plan? O RLY?

1. You're a cheater, a liar, a slacker, and you lack common sense. I seriously doubt youre going to pass the program. If somehow you do, I seriously doubt you'll pass NCLEX. If you somehow manage that, I'm still pretty sure youre going to kill somebo...

they seem like a painfully inefficient way to learn rationales for interventions and the rest. i dont put much effort into them, unless i happen to come across something i find interesting or worthwhile.
