   You will have a two week class that will start the Monday after TCC finishes...or at least that's what we did this past year :) After that, you'll be following TCU's Academic Calendar. This will of...

   I really love the program, but it is a roller coaster ride that never stops! It's extremely fast paced, but I wouldn't do it any other way at this point because the pay off is worth it. However, just...

   Congrats! I just got my award package last Friday...it's on the my.tcu.edu site. If yours is anything like mine, the loans they give you should definitely cover it...It sucks that because we're second...

7. Figuring out dose for Rocephin

   txhorns10 replied to KuteNurse's topic in General Nursing

   The full vial should be 500 mg. As a pharmacy tech, we always just withdrew the whole bottle...However, if you are doing as said before and diluting with 2, withdrawing 1 mL, you're not accounting for...

9. Figuring out dose for Rocephin

   txhorns10 replied to KuteNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Often when you reconstitute you end up with a larger volume...so basically, no that's not correct. You need to dilute and withdraw based on the guidelines on the bottle if you're giving a partial...

    I have really good scores/grades, too, but I'm also still nervous. I just hope I have what they're looking for! I think it's just that there's not a lot of info out there on the program, so it's kind...

    txhorns10 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well, I guess you brought it back. :) My hands hurt and then were dry for a few months after I stopped wearing latex gloves, it just takes a while to heal. I had to wear them all the time when I...

12. Can some one develop an allergy to PPD?

    txhorns10 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what my allergy is to, but the employee health nurse said there had to be induration (it had to be hard). Mine never is, so that's how they determined I'm not actually

    txhorns10 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm allergic to it, but mine doesn't clear up for a week. It gets red and raised, but not hard. It's done this since my second or third

14. med error and Sick about it

    txhorns10 replied to hello2you's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be horrified at how common med errors are. I was a pharmacy tech in two different hospitals. In one we did manual charges/credits. So, the nurses had access to anything in the PYXIS. We'd get a...
