I live in MA and am graduating RN school in May with an associates degree. Job market is brutal up here. I have heard I have a better shot of getting a new grad job in RI...any truth to this? Even if not I think it is probaly worth applying (everywhere!!). Does anyone have any names of hospitals, rehabs..etc on the MA/RI line? Thanks for any input you may have.

for some reason I can't figure out these 2 problems. I have the answer but don't know how they got it.... 1: The nurse administered the ordered PRN dose of grains 1/6 morphine sulfate SC. The vial of morphine contains 300mg in 20mL. The nurse drew up______mL into the syringe I know the answer is 0.7mL 2: 200mg of aminophylline in100mL D5W is ordered to run in over 60 minutes. The nurse will set the drip rate at ________microgtt/min. the answer is 100microgtt/min Can anyone show me the breakdown on how to get the answer???? THANKS!!!

I already bought all of my NS books, Tabers, Drug guide etc... NOW I have people saying to me.. Why did you do that? You should of bought a PDA system and you would have all of the books at your fingers tips instead of flipping through books all day long. Here's my Q...If I were to buy a PDA (looking at Palm TX) How do I get the books onto it? Do I have to rebuy them on CD to be able to download them? ***Very tech challenged in case you haven't noticed*** Also for those of you who do have one can you tell me "how" you use it. Here is how I am thinking it will help me...instead of having 50 million papers in my pockets to write down vitals, etc I can just write them on a word/note document on the PDA. If I don't know the definition of a word the RN uses I can click on Tabers type in the word and there it is. For Meds and Labs I can click on those books type in the med or lab (BUN) and it will give me all the info I need right there. Am I right? Anyone have the Palm TX? If I charge it will it last 8hrs for my clinical? I would love your .

thanks for the reply...i am talking about only nursing courses. i have finished all my pre-req and my gpa was a 3.98. i did great. this is the 1st timei got a c on anything (paper/exam/homework) since i have been in school. i knew i would sail through nursing couses like i did in my pre-reqs but it actually see the c+ on my exam really hit me hard. from what other have said c=rn. i am "hoping" that now i know how they test so i will do better next time. i know i knew all the content...it was the test that through me. i have been studing more test q's this time around and bought the saunders nclex review book lots of people on here have recommended. so i am going to pray that it will help on my next exam. wish me luck!Any of you almost at the end of NS ever get only C's all the way through?? I have had only 1 test so far and studying my butt off and only ended up with a C+. I have no self confidence in myself, never have, so I am already preparing myself for flunking out, and looking into what bartender schools are around me.... I know...I have to change my attitude or else I "will" flunk out. Everyone says you passed! That is great. Well I think is really S&*#s! So is there any one out there that has only gotten C's and can give me some incouragement? I really need it right now...i just knew in my heart that i was going to fail out because i got a 79 instead of an 80. omg!! how funny. on my first test i thought i got a 78 and was devastated. then i actually ended up with a 79 and felt sooo much better. what a nut i am... and i know that if i got an 80 i would of been so proud of myself. glad i am not the only one who feels like a 78/79 is the end of their nursing career.Awesome. Thank you! I pretty much study the same way but I read the chapter the night before we discuss it in class, so I have an idea of what we are talking about. But then I don't reread the chapter while I am rewriting my notes from the pp presentations. Maybe I should?? Since you get A's I value your opinion (or anyones). What do you think is better before or after the lecture to read the Chapter??What was the name of the book you got?
