LorrySchoenlyRNPhD - thank you for clarifying it for me....now I know. Its part of teaching, no?- educating newer nurses.....that's one of the points of this forum to ask and seek answers. Is that what you tell your pts when they ask questions? ........

I used the NCLEX book throughout the whole program...surprisingly some of the questions on the exams were taken from the book directly :) I guess I was lucky! But regardless, it is a good resource! Best of luck! K

Just relax while you still can.....but to answer your question, I bought mysef the NCLEX book and studied from that in addition to the books they made us buy...luckily...the professors in that school were using the same NCLEX book and utilized the qu...

It is a theoretical Q...it says that YOU HAVE 250mg....but you are right, of the wong Tylenol.....overall it is a very poorly written question if it was written as you stated here, word for word....There is no route stated, no specified frequency.......

Well if the issue has been adressed many times and nothing has been done, then you have one more resort...report the nurse to the Board, they will do investigation. In the end that is why the nurse is there, to provide care and at least to assess the...

Hej sorry i did read your message wrong, and the nurse did it right! Now if she did dilute the med in NS prior to IVP that woud be a mistake but its good that you are observing these things, thinking about them and learning in the process. K

IV means itravenous...it defines where the med is to be administered (into the vein) and not how...it does not imply using a pump, IV medications may be delivered by push, drip by gravity, etc......you will learn as you go.......this case is consider...

Medical and Surgical nursing......this is a good place to get started, as you will be learning a lot about a lot, very diverse population and therefore a lot of skills learned here :) Typically adult floor with both chronic and acute conditions, a lo...
