Thanks!!!

Thanks ladies....I just want practice questions for practice....something like a workbook or something...

Does anyone know where to get recommend safe dosage practice questions from for ADULTS?? Please help!!!!!!ASAP

Is this Saunder's Comprehensive Review-RN??

Was taught the same way...was told if the pt knew you were taking resp they would breathe abnormal (fast,slow,try and count with u...)

Thanks I just saw it on Walmart's website...was order Davis Drug guide and I wanted to know if this would be a great investment as well...so you say this book is a great tool for careplans? This is not by Ackley (which I have already) this is by Doenges, Murr and Moorhouse

Nursing Care Plans: Guidelines for Individualizing Client Care Accross the Life Span..has anyone ever heard or used this book? Is this a good tool for care plans?

Where do you get this "sheet" from that already has the classes broken down for you?

@TMT2012...where did you get the NCLEX book from and what is the name ?

I came up with the same answer u did 75 mcg but it was marked wrong and the answer that was given was 1 ml...I wanted to see how someone other than me solved the problem....thanks...I will consult the instructor

I couldn't figure it out bc I know the conversion for tsp is 5ml = 1 tsp and that cancels the tsp and that 1mg=1000mcg but i couldn't figure out how to cancel the mg to get the answer in mls...the answer is 1ml...but how is the set up?

Order: Digoxin 0.2 tsp po b.i.d.. On hand is 75 mcg / ml. How many ml's will you give? ____________ ml(s)

Thanks Shaas...I was reading too much in question #1 but for question #2 I did it the way you have it set up and got the answer marked wrong...106.5 ml/hr was suppose to be the answer. IDK maybe the answer key is wrong but thanks for your help these questions are worded tricky!

#1 Zofran 0.15 mg/kg IVPB 30 minutes before chemotherapy. The label on the vial states to dilute the drug in 50 ml of D5W and infuse over 15 minutes. Calculate the flow rate for a patient who weighs 55 kg, when the drop factor is 10 gtts/ml. #2 Hycantin 3.25 mg IV daily for 5 days. Repeat every 21 days. The label on the vial reads 4 mg/4 ml. Directions state to withdraw the dose and add to the 50 mls of D5W and infuse over 30 minutes. Calculate the flow rate in ml/hr.

Im starting clinicals next month and I'm going in with a 3.6 GPA...I want to maintain that through out but sometimes it is hard to obtain that "A" that you want so to those who have previously posted and are getting "A"'s tell me how you study so I can get A's too. I've heard all the sayings (C= Continue, C= degree, C=RN,ect) and I feel like as long as you are putting in the effort and you still get a "C" then you shouldn't beat yourself up and neither should anyone else but to the slackers who cruise to get by then they deserve the grade they get. In all grades do matter....so tell me how to maintain my current GPA.

Any tips, books, websites to go to for paharmacology help??

souther.bellex3.... Hey there fellow nursing student...can you shed some light on what instructors to take...thanks for the help!!!

@ none the wiser....one more question...do you know or have you heard anything about the weekend program? I know they are offerring it htis fall but i wanted to know if it was better than the day program. I do know you have an extra semester but they also split 263 &265 up

Thanks for the info...how is Nur 131???

@ none the wiser...how is Nur 101? Can you take micro with it and be somewhat sane in Dec? Also what is the sequence of classes(for ex. what class goes with Nur 101)? Thanks for your help.

Thanks aem31....that was my point exactly...and I must say you are blessed not to work...me not so blessed; I still have to work but I am determined to become a nurse!!

Thanks Bluegrass for all your input and insight...have a good day and God bless!!

[email protected] just want insight from people who have completed the program. I would hope since you completed the program already that you would be willing to share what helped you so that those new to the game won't be so stressed. Sorry I'm not on your level yet.... but I thought this was a website to ask questions and not be ridiculed for posting under the wrong title (which I posted under student as well). Just wanted some insight from nurses that have completed a program. Thanks to all that replied and have a blessed day!!!

I will begin clinicals this fall and I want to know how will I be able to work and still go to school since I hear you pretty much can't work while completing the nursing program. I need to know anything that will help me at least until I can take the LPN exam ( which will be after the third semester). Is there any assistance nursing students can get to help with bills, food...ect? Thanks for ANY ADVICE!!
