  1. Dosage Calculation

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Kristy_joyz's topic in General Students

    This is how I did it...no reason to even convert the grains.... xml=10mg*1ml/8mg..mg's cancel= 10*1ml/8=1.25ml no rounding. I would bet that the book is wrong. I don't even know why you would have to...

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    I am personally...2 years compared to 4 and the liability and accountability we assume without the

  4. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    New grad x-ray techs here start at $18.00/hr. RN's around $21. Don't get the rationale behind that but I still wouldn't trade careers either

  5. Scared of gross things!

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to LilStudent's topic in General Students

    I used to get totally grossed out before nursing school but that's all gone now. Bring Vics to put under your nose for smells and that seems to help alot. The visual is nowhere near as bad as the...

  6. Boring Part Of BSN

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to freelancer's topic in General Students

    Wow I love the community nursing clinicals that we have done. The actual class isn't until next semester but we've done community since the beginning. Teaching self breast exams, testicular exams,...

  7. Lakeside Hospital

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    JLynn~ thats exactly what I'm afraid will happen if I don't get my foot in the door now. I know most hospitals want experience with certain departments (particularly L&D where I want to be), the...

  8. Lakeside Hospital

    ItsyBitsySpider posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hey everyone~ Does anyone know if Lakeside hospital hires new grads in L&D? For that matter does anyone know of any hospital in the New Orleans area that do? I've only talked to Tulane and W.J. so...

  9. Beginning RN Salary in Louisiana

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    That is New Orleans and surrounding area hospitals, and here I was thinking that $21 was kind of low too. hehe I think I've been in school too

  10. Beginning RN Salary in Louisiana

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Lowest starting pay I've heard is $21/hr, days though. Most starts that I've heard from recent graduates are between $21 and $25, differentials are pretty good though. If you can do PRN that's even...

  12. Beginning RN Salary in Louisiana

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Louisiananurse~ I'm born and raised in Louisiana and I know what the cost of living is, either way you look at it, $16 is low. As for $225 a month for a 3 bedroom, that is AWESOME. I pay 4 times that...

    Too late for advice but just wondering how you did...I have a great book around here somewhere that I used to prepare for the PAX. Keeping my fingers crossed for

  15. Lakeside Hospital

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Thanks so much for your encouraging words! I think I will do just that. I don't graduate until May but I really want to start to tech somewhere and get some kind of OB experience. It's funny when the...

  16. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    There is absolutely no way I would participate in this. Since when does "not rocking the boat" get anyone anywhere? If you feel strongly about this, there is a way to go about letting the right people...

  17. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    I think your experience has obviously been limited, to put it mildly. There's a step ladder sitting next to your high horse. I know that in my program there are approximately 1% of students that are A...

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    I remember the days of the grading curves before nursing school...how I wish they would still do them

  20. YOUR 3 hardest areas of nursing school

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Sunshine78's topic in General Nursing

    Chemistry by far has been the hardest. Peds/OB was hard but I really enjoyed it. I stopped reading every sentence in every chapter and I have aquired a new speed reading technique this last semester...

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    This is absurd....all of you go to time

  23. chicken pox titer

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to philhou's topic in General Students

    Did you have titers drawn? That would tell you whether or not you've ever had them. You should talk to your doctor about the likelihood of you getting the chicken pox with the vaccine, although many...

  24. Is it too late to become a nurse?

    ItsyBitsySpider replied to Alexbor's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Alex, I also went back to school at 26 and when I graduate next year I will be 31. You are by no means "too old", if there is such a thing. I had the same fear when I went back but there are...
