1. advice for new student to get organized

   braithiar replied to amy929's topic in Student Assist

   Study to your strengths. If you're a flashcard making ninja, make flashcards; if you write fast, take notes on your reading. Personally, I remember a good portion of what I've read. After reading a chapter I make notes from memory and check them agai...

4. bandage scissors?

   braithiar replied to kasia87's topic in Student Assist

   Get bigger ones if you think they are too small. They should fit your hand and be comfortable to use. I doubt your school has any guidelines on which bandage scissors to buy. Good luck! -B

   There are many people in the world who have trouble with math, so you shouldn't feel like an idiot. It's a practiced skill. Keep doing problems and it will make sense eventually. -B

   lol. TheSquire and I will get you through this. Apparently we are both watching this thread like hawks. I've even brewed some coffee to keep me alert.

9. dosage calculation

   braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

   Make sure you start with what you're looking for. You're looking for time, so start with minutes. Flip 0.5mL/min (so you would have 1min/0.5mL) and then get the units to cancel until you are left with only minutes. -B

10. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

11. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

    Here's a link to some basic info on DA. It's usually taught in algebra classes (intermediate algebra, I think); though a refresher is common in early chemistry. It's very easy. Don't let the name fool you. -B

14. Just wondering NP & PA

    braithiar replied to physio's topic in NP

    I don't think any NPs are looking down on PAs. When deciding, you should also take into account that many NPs have years of nursing experience prior to becoming an NP. My point is, you shouldn't base your decisions solely on program curriculum. Pre...
