    ohcomeon replied to peas&carrots's topic in General Students

  3. is nursing even a good career choice right now?

    ohcomeon replied to tware's topic in General Nursing

  6. Is my Littman Stethoscope a fake??!!

    ohcomeon replied to sixthwannabe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    ohcomeon replied to Disbdestiny's topic in General Students

    ohcomeon replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Students

    Math for Meds is what we used in our first semester. Also get the Davis Drug Guide, either the actual book or get the program for your PDA/iPhone/Blackberry. It is awesome. I also bought the Nurse's...

    ohcomeon replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    ohcomeon replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Thank you for posting this. It aggravates me when I hear people at my school say "C stands for continue". It seems like that is all many people are striving for at my school because they don't want to...

  14. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    ohcomeon replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

  16. Finding NS Graduation Rates

    ohcomeon replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

  19. math problem

    ohcomeon replied to fostersgirl6993's topic in General Students

    For the second problem, you need to know that 1 grain=60mg. So that means that 1/150th of 1 grain = 0.4mg (divide 60mg by 150, and you get 0.4mg) Set up the problem (again, this isn't necessary...

  21. math problem

    ohcomeon replied to fostersgirl6993's topic in General Students

    ohcomeon replied to headliner1889's topic in General Students

    Try to get one of the NCLEX review books. Maybe Saunders. They are usually broke down by subject with a little reivew on each topic and then test questions. They also give you the rationale on why...
