The University of South Alabama in Mobile has an excellent BSN program. They have a one year program for people who already have a bachelor degree.

Congratulations!!!

Just for those who are tracking.... I took NCLEX-RN in Alabama this week and the "trick" worked for me. I checked 3 hours after I finished the test up until 3 days later when I found out that I passed and I consistently got the pop-up that stated to...

I just watched your video. It was wonderful and beautiful! It was also very touching and insightful. Great job!

:yeah:Congratulations!!!!

I was in a similar boat as you. My job did offer Cobra but I could not afford it. Cobra tends to be expensive. I got insurance through the Markel Insurance Company: www.collegeinsurance.com. I'm not sure if your school is affiliated with them or not ...

I was thinking the same thing. We are only allowed an ID and A car key. Nothing else...no hats, no purses, no sunglasses on the head, no pens, no pencils. The instructors answer NO questions during exam time, no exceptions. If your phone goes off, yo...

Yay you! Congrats on your great grade! Hang in there, be happy and proud...but you are right, don't get over confident. Keep studying. And sometimes our school takes forever to post grades and it is VERY stressful. Good luck to you!

Hang in there! This too shall pass. Just get through one day at a time. Hopefully your husband will be back home soon to help you with the children. You made it through your first semester, don't quit now. Talk to your clinical instructor to help ...

I don't live in your state so I don't have any knowledge about their schools or reputations. My advice would be to go to the Oregon Board of Nursing's website and look for accredited programs. And then I would make appointments at schools to talk t...

At my school you have to get a 95% to pass the dosage calc class. We then take a dosage calc exam before we begin each new clinical rotation and have two chances to get a 95% or you cannot go to clinicals that rotation.

1000 ml = 1 liter 1,000ml/10,000u x 1,000u/hour = 1,000,000/10,000 = 100ml/hour

I have heard good things about the University of South Alabama's online programs. http://www.southalabama.edu/nursing/index.html For whatever its worth....

Does the question possibly say the dr is increasing the drip BY 500units/hr? 100units = 1 ml The patient is already getting 7ml (or 700 units) per hour, if you increase it BY 500 units (or 5ml) then the answer would by 12ml/hour (7ml+5ml).

Oops...sorry....I put an explanation to your other problem up. Same concept though. 25,000 x 7 = 175,000 500 x 1 hr = 500 175,000 divided by 500 = 350

The way I was taught to is to see what the question is looking for in the answer. (like ml/hour or gtt/min, etc) Then you set the problem up by putting what you need on top for you answer first and on top, then what you need on bottom for you answer...

looking for ml/hour 500ml/25,000units x 1,200units/hour = 600,000/25,000 = 24ml/hour (the two "units" will cancel each other out and you are left with ml/hour)

You are very welcome! :typing

looking for units/hour 25,000 units/500ml x 7ml/hour = 175,000 u/500 = 350 units/hour (the two "ml's" will cancel each other out and you are left with units/hour)

Nursing school schedules vary a lot depending on the school and what type of program (ADN vs BSN). I am in a BSN program and we go during the summer (including clinicals). We do start some clinicals mid-semester and some are days and some nights. Our...

60mcg/kg-day x 1mg/1000mcg x 22 lbs/1 x 1kg/2.2 lbs = 1320/2200 = 0.6 mg 0.6mg - 0.5mg = 0.1

Just for the record...being a single Mom doesn't mean that your school would be paid for. People always used to tell me that...."oh, you're a single Mom you'll have no problem getting school paid for". Not true!! I am a single Mom and could not get f...

The BSN program that I am in does NOT do test reviews. They will on regular exams (not finals) give us a printout that tells us which question numbers we got wrong and give us a "blueprint" of the exam that tells us the topic of the question. We neve...

Some things that helped me get through med surg I were really knowing my ABG's and standard lab values (like K+, Ca, Na, etc..). They will teach you the ABG's in class but maybe start making some note cards on all of these things and look at them of...

Some lessons that I learned in clincial were of course to be on time and come prepared. Know your meds and how they relate to your patient. I found that in my school if you really bust your butt, know your meds and have all of your paperwork the fi...
