Has anyone taken either A or B ATI Fundamentals proctored exam in the last few months? If so, please let me know and I'll write you back; I have a few questions regarding the test. Thanks!!

I am in my final pre-req. and plan on applying to RN program this fall. I am male, single and making a career change. Why do nurses (non-union states) allow the poor work environment, no breaks, no lunch, etc. situation to continue? Isn't there eno...

i'm in my maternal-child semester and already having problems with the math!! would someone please explain these math problems that contain "pediatric dose parameters" if you would please, step by step, break this down for me. i use dimentional analy...

would someone please explain these math problems that contain "pediatric dose parameters" if you would please, step by step, break this down for me. i use dimentional analysis but can't for the life of me .....even get started much less understand t...

Thanks Annebelle....I got your personal message.

obtaining blood specimens via a pipette is an acceptable practice. the answer was false. i missed it...why?

Thanks for everyone's responses. I hate trick questions!!

For the life of me, I can't figure this out (dimensional analysis). Anyone out there with a clear head...I must be very tired!! Thanks. A Dopamine drip (400mg in 250 cc of IV fluid) is infusing on your 80 kg patient at 20 cc/hour. How many mcg/kg/m...

purchase a Littman stethoscope.. Are you planning to purchase the stethoscope from Wallace or elsewhere?

Please help....I cannot figure out how to do this one. The answer is 3 cc. Need DA method. Thanks!! A Nitroglycerin drip is ordered for your patient to control his chest pain. The concdentration is 100 mg in 250 cc D5W. Order is to begin the inf...

OK, I will. Can you use DA for all calculations? Is it preferred over formula, ratio/proportion? I only want to learn one method and not get confused. Thanks!

Is the "available" factor always first vs. "what's ordered"? I'm trying to teach myself DA before January.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help!

Anything will work. Got to figure this one out. Thanks

Congrats to all! If anyone wants to meet before November 16th, let me know. We could meet for coffee somewhere convenient or PM me at https://allnurses.com/members/322350/ Billy

Every nurse should read this and take action! http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/h-1c.cfm

I think it will be worse. Probably lots of foreign nurses flooding the market happy to accept $10 hr. as RN.

I live closer to Jeff State, but hear Wallace is a much better school. Any comments? Anyone attended both to have comparison?

Hello, I am considering a P/T RN program this fall. First semester would be Pharmacology (math included) with Health Assessment. The following semester (spring) would be Nursing Fundementals only (with clinicals.) If I'm admitted into the program ...

Just a technique that helped when I first got started......if you have access and your employer doesn't mind, use drip tubing, foam tape and betadine/water in a syringe.......tape the drip tube to a mayo stand covering tubing with foam tape.......giv...

They removed the separate health assessment course from my program, so that shows you how important some think it is. Programs that don't have separate courses for subjects like assessment and pharmacology say the material is "integrated" into other ...

Wallace has a great P/T program. You have up to 4 years to complete, can attend day or night. Most lectures are available online. Fall 2009 : NUR 103 Health Assessment with NUR 104 Pharmacology Spring 2010: NUR 102 Fundamentals Summer: ...

Where are you attending NS? Is there alot of math in second semester? Good luck!

I would just like to comment here . . .I was accepted to Jeff State last Fall. Had A's & B's in all nursing classes. However, the 'dosage calculation' test, you are only allowed to miss two problems. I missed three and was immediately kicked out ...
