I definatly think that you should still go to Nursing School.......... Yes, as a Nurse you are still going to have the anxiety and all of the emotions but its just something that you have to be able to handle. Don't be scared of your anxiety and don't let it hold you back from something that you want to do. If its happening that often you really should see your health care provider and see what he or she can do to help you. You shouldn't have to live with it, it can really drag you down!! Take care of yourself and good luck to you when you start school...I am a student myself and luckily I finish in January of 09. You will learn so much and you won't regret it.

I just wanted to say that I have so much respect for men that are and that are working on becoming a Nurse. I am a student myself and I hear a lot of other students in my class making fun of the guys all of the time. The heck with them!! I think its great and I think that if anyone in Nursing school or someone that is already a Nurse thinks differently than that they are nothing but unprofessional!!

Hi, hopefully I can help a little bit with dosage calculation. I however, cannot help with the IV drip rates because I haven't quite figured that part out yet. Unfortunatly, at the LPN school that I attend they tried to teach us the Math part in one day and then tested us over it....that didn't go over so well to say the least. Anyways, I'll help all I can. I will give you an example off of one of my practice sheets. Order: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25mg, PO, q6h, PRN Available: Benadryl 12.5mg/5mL First step: You need to divide what you need and what you have. What you need is the top number and what you have is the bottom number. 25mg (what you need) ----------------------- 12.5mg (what you have available) Whatever answer you get from that you will multiply it by the volume. 25mg ------- x 5mL = 10mL 12.5mL So, with this one your answer would be 10mL q6h, PRN If you need anymore help let me know. Do you know how to convert grams to milligrams? If you don't or need help just private message me!! We can learn together.
