    penny112 replied to brotherbear's topic in General Students

    penny112 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    penny112 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

  11. IV math question..

    penny112 replied to heartnursing's topic in General Nursing

    Always break it down to simple terms first. You have 125mg in 100mL... So how many mg do you have per mL? 1.25mg/mL. Now you want 10mg/hr? So 1.25 goes into 10 8 times. mg cancels out so you are left...

  14. Nervous about clinicals

    penny112 replied to aismail3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
