    anneuhbanana replied to kbm318's topic in General Students

  16. If this IV calculation is correct?

    anneuhbanana replied to JaaaeyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    you did it correctly! Personally I don't like to put everything on top because it gets more confusing that way... I would set it up as 100ml/30min x60min/1hr=200ml/hr using dimensional

  24. Which Courses?

  25. Which Courses?

    anneuhbanana replied to Krystalia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
