An airplane I have put up with so much crap in nursing school that I deserve it.

45 here, will finish up with the spring semester. I have enjoyed my time in nursing school, but it has been a long and rocky road. I was ready to start making a difference in the world for people with my life instead of just making things.

I am so tired as well. I have been looking forward to pinning for years. Now that its less than six weeks away, it just seems like another thing to try to work into my hetic schedule.

Dear preceptor, Thank you. You took me under your wing. You never made me feel stupid or incompetent. You explained what we were going to do and asked if I had any questions before we went into the patient's room. Every time. You were always there to...

I am now doing my preceptership in the ER. I love it! I am using my nursing skills and using things I have learned from all of my classes. Peds, psyc, fundamentals, ....., all of them.

Yes, starting with the first day of clinical. Of course we are practicing under the license of our preceptor.

I am supposed to go to pinning in Dec. I failed my first psyc test, so I am now really under the gun to pull my grade up. Just 3 months till pinning, I really need to just suck it up and put in the study time.

I light my candle Dec 15. Three and a half years to earn a two year degree.

Get to know a few people, they will be your support system. I am starting my last semester. Nursing school will come to an end one day.

3.5 for me

Tara ann, Think of med surg as being a catch all for the bulk of adult patients in the hospital. This is where people go that don't belong in a speciality area such as the ER, ICU, NICU, peds, etc. You will see many general nursing procedures in med ...

Three years ago I had dreams of CRNA. Now I just dream of passing NCLEX and obtaining gainful employment ;-). The ER is an area that I would like or some type of ICU perhaps.

One more week and I start my last semester! Psyc and critical care classes, each seven weeks. I am also picking up an elective in phys. assessment. Pinning is in Dec. I am so glad to be wrapping up, I have been working on this for over 3 years.

After posting this I see that my equation is hard to read. 5000mg,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,500mg -------,,,,,,,, =,,,,,,,,, -------- 12.5ml ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,X ml There we go, just ignore all of the commas.

fosters girl On some problems you may need the total volume, it really depends on what they are asking you to solve for. ns88 and Bob are spot on for solving your second problem. Here is how I would attack it, this is a little different than most peo...

250 ml to be infused in one hour x a 60 drop set = 15000 drops to be infused in one hour 15000 drops / 60 minutes in one hour = 250drops per minute They often give you too much info. You don't need to know the type of med or the total volume to be in...

I saw a CABG, very interesting.

I bought mine on ebay, but there is a cheaper way. You can use a alcholol prep pad to do the same thing, just use the edge of the pad as one point and make a mark with pen or pencil on it for the other point. I keep plenty on me while on the floor. Q...

20 pages, my goodness, all of my careplans combined wouldn't make that much text I save all of my careplans on my hard drive along with anything else I type up. This material is often is recycled into new careplans making the new ones less work. Even...

Getting a jump start is a great way to start out nursing school. I go to each of instructors to find out what chapters to read for the upcoming semester. I start doing some reading during the time off between semesters. At my school, the instructors ...

5 months

OOPS, the second answer is 40gtt, sorry for the confusion.

timex indaglo, walmart $30

Ok, here is how I would tackle this first problem 50ml running at 10gtt per ml is a total of 500 drops to be infused (50 x 10 = 500) 500 drops running for 70 minutes (500 divided by 70 = 7.142857142857143) this is rounded to 7 drops per minute becaus...

Save your dimes, talk to mom and dad, plan to quit. Wally is terrible to work for. Look for employment where it will build experience for your future. School is only for a limited time.
