Good morning all, I have been working as a visiting nurse for a small hospice company since this March. I love my job and my patients, but I hate the driving....:).....I live in OC, CA, and they pay me $35/visit. I am wondering if the pay rate sound...

Hello all nurses!!!! I am an old new grad, and I was searching and applying for jobs for months. Finally, I got a job offer for an infusion nurse position at a cancer medical group. They know I am a new nurse, but they are willing to give me a chance...

I have searched for Chemotherapy & Biotherapy provider course, but I can't find any in my area. Can I still mix and administer chemo to pts with a certified chemo nurse until I am certified? Thank you.

Thank you for your responses. Now, I am wondering if I have to be certified to mix chemo meds and to administer them to pts. TIA.

I am just wondering how your interview went.

I have the same question as well.

Thank you very much for your help. I will do what you recommended.

Hello all, I graduated in December 2008 with a ADN, passed RN-NCLEX in March 2009, and started doing job hunting in April. However, I haven't had any luck so far. I have had a couple of interview, but I didn't get any job offer. It is so frustrating....

Read the question carefully, you will figure out what you need for dimensional analysis equation. Ignore distract factors.

30gm * 60ml / 12.5gm = 144ml / dose

I had 75 questions, and I did not have any math question. After the test I thought I failed as many others did. Yet I passed. Try not to think about it til you know the result. Good luck.

I did the calculation only, I did not explain it though....:)

SolaireSolstice answered your questions. :)

20mg / Kg/day * 11lbs/1 * 1Kg / 2.2lbs * 2ml / 500mg = 0.4 ml/day -----> 0.4 ml / 4 = 0.1 ml /dose

500mg * 1gm / 1000mg * 4ml/2gm = 1 ml

Congrats!

NCLEX questions are more like Kaplan questions, but I personally think Kaplan questions are more complicated. Saunder questions are much easier, but their rationales are excellent.

While I was practicing NCLEX questions, I didn't care much how well I did on the predictor tests. I was focusing more on understanding questions, options, and rationales. Every body studies differently, do whatever works best for you though. Good luc...

1000 questions per day?....:).....I hope you mean 100 questions per day?

Oh! yeah! Thanks, I need to read question more cafeully....:)

Oops! Is my answer wrong?...:).....Let's me do it again.

75 mg/Kg * 48 Kg/1 * 1 ml/90 mg= 40 ml/day ----> 40 ml/3 doses = 13.3 ml/dose

I got a bunch of med questions, but they were about side effects, questioning doctors' orders.......no calculation.

I received an email from Dayna Spivey. In the email, she said that she opened one new grad position, but she got 503 applications. Hence she just cancelled it.
