It's put there to confuse you. To see if you understand that the info is not necessary to answer the question.

Question one. The 300 is meaningless info, not needed to answer question. All is needed is the rate in a specified time and the drip factor. 150ml x 20gtt/cc / 60mins = 50 gtts/min Where do I get these numbers? Remember the question states 150ml/hour. Right there you have the amount to be infused and the time, remember the bottom of this equation is in mins. the drip rate is stated in the question. Of course, if you want to say "but, the question says 300ml" remember that is the TOTAL amount, @ 150ml/hour that would take two hours to infuse so you could replace the 150 with 300 and the 60 with 120 in the equation but the result is the same.

Hi all, Brand new to the forums and had to post in this thread even though it is a couple of months old. I too, like a previous poster, graduated from Holyname SON. I was one of the graduates in the 2007 class that ranked #1 in the country, which really made the school happy btw. I work in the hospital and my starting salary was $28.50 per/h which is standard here for all new grads. Shift diff rate is $4 for even/night, $2 weekend, $1 charge. To answer a posters question regarding transcripts I can only report my experience. I graduated highschool in Ireland and a LOT of college credits here is the USA, but no degree. I was required to get official copies of all my college course, but that was it, and as far as transferring in the grade as I was only going for the diploma I was able to transfer in ALL appropriate course work, even though some of the classes were taken in the late 80's early 90's. Saved me thousands. Another point, the school is VERY competitive. The best advice is study for your NET. Most of the students here that I spoke to were in the 90+ percentile on the NET. I could be wrong, but my understanding is they won't even consider you if you don't score in the 70+ percentile. Truth be told, you need much better then that as most of the candidates score high. As far as cost, the program is more expensive then some, but by no means is it the most expensive, or anywhere near. Currently, the 2-year diploma program with books runs about $29,000 total. As someone mentioned, they will happily hire you as a per-diem PCT at about $13 p/h (beats McDonalds) once you successfully complete fundementals of nursing in your first semester. Once you graduate, pass your boards, and haven't screwed up as a PCT, the hospital will probably hire you. In my experience the graduating class is usually around 40 and the hospital, depending on needs, will hire 12 - 15 of those grads. Good luck. If I can help with info don't hesitate to contact me.

I took the NET test there in 2005 and graduated from there in 2007. The NET I took consisted of two parts, English comprehension and Math. There was a third part, but that was more to evaluate your learning style and was not part of the test per se. My advice would be the same as the others get a good review book and prepare.
