  1. Can someone help me with these math problems?

    AugustRain replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in General Students

    You got it. Good

  2. Endorsement PA->NJ

    AugustRain replied to LoriNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The NJ BON is slow (and they lose things). You're probably looking at a couple of

    hope this helps the wording make more sense for

  4. First week of Clinicals

    AugustRain replied to jcolli01's topic in General Students

    Clinicals can seem frustrating until you get into the swing of things, but there actually are things you can do. When you get report/check in with your nurse for the day, let her know what skills...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    Billing info should be on your DrexelOne account, but if you're unsure about something, give the school a call (remember to check with the Center City campus, instead of the University City main...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    No clinicals on Sundays, but Saturdays are fair game. You get a day off during the week

  8. Why not wear a mask to 'mask' some of the smells that go along with nursing?

    AugustRain replied to Cathylady's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mostly because it's unnecessary. PPE is used when there is a need to protect the patient and/or provider from a specific risk, not just because we're germaphobes or because something is unpleasant....

  9. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    We usually had 4 or 5 classes that ran from 8a-4p. Things vary a little, there was a day first quarter that I only had one class, and another quarter I had something until 5:30ish. Morning clinicals...

  10. math review

    AugustRain replied to myrose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a hard time with dimensional analysis too, so I just try to break things down logically instead. Here's how I figure out these types of problems: There are basically 3 steps 1. Set up a ratio...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    blueyes26, I forgot about your book question. The list will come out a few weeks before classes, but from my experience, it's not necessary to buy them all right away. Yes, the previous classes do...

    Cocobelly - yes, you'll need white shoes. It will depend on what's comfortable for you, but my favorite brand of gym sneakers (New Balance) makes a few all white ones...so I tried on every one in the...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    I haven't seen the letter, so I'm not sure what it says or how it's phrased, but my guess is that it's to make sure that everyone is clear about the HESI expectations from the beginning. No one will...

  14. Urgent small help needed with IV Math! Plzzzzzz

    AugustRain replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Students

    are you sure these problems aren't supposed to be written as 5 mcg/kg/min and 12 mcg/mg/kg? if they are, then i got the same answers as your answer key: 5 mcg x 80 kg = 400 mcg/min 400 mcg x 60 min...

  15. Gold Star Stickers For Nurses??

    AugustRain replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    My brother works in finance and I'm trying to picture his manager adding gold stars to his paycheck instead of the bonus he was expecting for closing a great

  16. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    Our class didn't sign this, but I think it's a good idea for everyone to be on the same page from day one. I'm pretty sure hiddencat's class did get this contract, so she could probably answer any...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    you'll probably get different opinions on what to buy, but those are my thoughts. sharing books was nice, but remember that when in doubt, s/he who pays gets custody, so make sure you have similar...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    First of all, congratulations on being accepted! I was never fingerprinted for anything at Drexel, though I believe a clinical group was for one specific site. My suggestion would be to call Drexel's...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi nursingyogi - yes, the links you posted are the books I used. Between the members of my study group, we had ten of the R&R books, including the comprehensive review. I found them very helpful...

  21. Wait on PA?

    AugustRain replied to LoriNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats LoriNJ, I know you've been waiting a long time! You're going to do a great job at the interviews, I'll be thinking about

  22. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    I think it would be a great way to make some connections and get a feel for some of the basics. If you can get a free CPR cert out of it too, even better (just make sure that it's the one for...

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    You do need BLS cert before classes begin, because clinicals start week 2. A clinical compliance packet will be sent to you about the same time you get a letter re: orientation. It's kind of a pain,...

  24. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    acrawl - sent you a PM. CPR training doesn't have to be in PA, it's the same cert everywhere. Just make sure you end up with BLS for Healthcare Providers AND Heartsaver First Aid - they're two...

  25. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    AugustRain replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    acrawl - Yes, you should be filling out the FAFSA twice, so you'll probably be getting more aid than it appears right now. However, it's still not enough, so you will need to look for private sources....
