  1. advice for new student to get organized

    braithiar replied to amy929's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  2. A&P, Eng composition ,Gen Psych and intro to Soc

    braithiar replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine. Good luck!

  3. Chem & Micro

    braithiar replied to jmwalk09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry too much. Most intro-level biology classes have a brief chemistry chapter that covers everything you need to know.

  4. bandage scissors?

    braithiar replied to kasia87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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!

  5. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

    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.

  6. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

    True, the answer was already given, so here you go: min = 1min/0.5mL * 1mL/0.25mg * 0.25mg = 2min

  8. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

    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

  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...

  10. dosage calculation

    braithiar replied to waterwater's topic in General Students

    I like it for the same reason. It's so short, but it was infinitely useful when I was tutoring students on DA.

  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...

  12. Taking Bio 223 & 251 at same time?!

    braithiar replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think of it this way: Biology majors take more then one biology class at a time. So it's "do-able." Good luck!

  13. HELP!!!!

    braithiar replied to panaya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If your record was expunged you don't need to disclose it.

  14. Just wondering NP & PA

    braithiar replied to physio's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  15. Chem 101 study guide/pre-study guide?

    braithiar replied to blondielocks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Khan Academy has chemistry videos that you might find helpful.

  16. Has anyone gone to Unitek College in Fremont...I need help with loans?

    braithiar replied to jamie0110's topic in School, College Programs

    Did you take the maximum Stafford loan (sub and unsub)?

  17. Does this seem like an insane amount of prereqs?

    braithiar replied to milo2145's topic in General Students

    Looks like standard Bachelors degree requirements to me, as

  18. VCC immunizations and health screening?

    braithiar replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The TDaP vaccine is also recommended for health care workers. It cost me $59 to get most of my vaccines at the health department (Michigan); I say "most" because this price does not include the two...

  19. Am i making the right decision?

    braithiar replied to AudChop's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it will help you realize your goal, take the student loan. Good luck!

  20. solving systems of linear equations via substitutio method?

    braithiar replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :up:Youtube is a good resource. There's also Khan Academy for "how to"

  21. solving systems of linear equations via substitutio method?

    braithiar replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll work the first problem for you. Step 1: Solve one equation for either x or y. In this case the second equation (8x = -12y + 24) is the easiest; just divide both sides by 8 and we get x=-3/2y + 3....

  22. Should I keep pursuing nursing if I have to keep repeating classes due to a hectic pe

    braithiar replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Should I Take Micro and AP 2 at the same time?

    braithiar replied to tryingtobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's two loooooong days a week. I say go for it; but you're the only one who knows if you are capable of doing it. Good luck!

  24. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    braithiar replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    Shop around. I purchased all of my books online at amazon, walmart, and b&n. I only spent $465. College bookstores are notorious for marking up prices. -B Edit: Brunner's Med-Surg $100.52 for...

  25. Seeking advice second career

    braithiar replied to dimechic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you already have a bachelors, you could consider an accelerated BSN. I'm not sure if it would save you money, but it would decrease the amount of time you're not working.
