  1. What are you doing to get ready???

    peas&carrots replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    You all make me feel like a big ol' slacker. I haven't done anything to get ready for the Fall. I've just been working and enjoying the summer.

    valsartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin ii receptor antagonists. valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. vasotec (enalapril) is...

  3. Is this too many courses???

    peas&carrots replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I think you can do it just fine. I had 20 hours this past semester including a chem and a&p2. The chemistry isn't as bad as you think it will be. The other two will just require writing papers...

  4. need some calculation help

    peas&carrots replied to raygun354's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For the first problem why wouldn't it be 1/2 mL. 1/100 per 1 mL = 1/200 per x mL so x/100 = 1/200 then 200x = 100....x = 1/2 Am I thinking the wrong way on this

  5. Caught a major med error today!

    peas&carrots replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a pharmacy tech and this doesn't surprise me. Most techs that fill medicine are hired with no experience and you don't have to have any schooling to be a tech. Retail pharmacies overwork...

  6. What do you do when you feel burned out?

    peas&carrots replied to flygirl117's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet (start in Aug...yay!) but I am trying to finish up my associates of science by cramming in 20 hours this semester. Anyone who has to take organic chemistry knows about...

  7. farrmer's wife w/kids......and NO help!

    peas&carrots replied to naenae1979's topic in General Students

    Most colleges and universities have child care centers that would love to have your children. It is how they learn and they aren't very expensive. They are always supervised (at least they are where I...

  9. Scholarships anyone?

    peas&carrots replied to labchic's topic in General Students

    Most hospitals have scholarship programs if you look on their websites. Hospitals are usually owned by groups which include other hospitals, pain centers, etc. Contact a hospital in your area and ask...

  10. Scholarships anyone?

    peas&carrots replied to labchic's topic in General Students

    I'm applying for a scholarship through a local hospital group. For every year they pay for your schooling you sign a contract for a year of work. The thought of being stuck working for them doesn't...

  11. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    peas&carrots replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet...fingers crossed for someday) but I do work in a pharmacy. We have a great number of people that are prescribed 50,000 units of Vitamin D once weekly. This is most female...

  12. Would this be considered cheating?

    peas&carrots replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    I don't consider this cheating at all. I was blessed to have a former student pass on his things to me and many other people in my classes have inherited material also. My opinion is if the teacher...

  13. Good Idea or bad...I have Nursing books & want to start studying (fundamentals)

    peas&carrots replied to jewelspassion's topic in General Students

    I am starting in the Fall also and came over here from the pre-nursing thread to ask this exact question. I work in a pharmacy so I have a general grasp of drugs, their generics and what they...

  14. Took the TEAS today

    peas&carrots replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also didn't study for the test and got an 87. I agree with another poster that you should know your metric conversions and where commas should go in a sentence. I'm a science major so I had a little...

  15. Nursing school roadblocks

    peas&carrots replied to Michaelxy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your story is very similar to mine. I'm also a biology major and am now finishing up my associates. I had the same thought about being stuck in a lab all day having limited contact with people. It...

  16. Does anyone know anything about this issue

    peas&carrots replied to hn8404's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I figure an associates degree is great to have no matter what. Even though I've decided to go into the nursing program I'm still finishing my assoc. in science. You never know what life has in store...

  17. Microbio, Ochem, Hum Anatomy.. is it really possible??

    peas&carrots replied to bcjones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well,I'm taking all 3 this semester myself but it's A&P 2 for me. I'm in my 2nd semester of o.chem. and I'm surprised by people that say it is easy. Is there a different o.chem. just for nursing...

  18. talk to me about your algebra class

    peas&carrots replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I'm applying to doesn't even require math as a prereq. It's ranked in the top of all programs in my area so they must be doing something right. I do know they lose alot of students along...

  19. I hate when my school ______

    peas&carrots replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    won't allow me to receive financial because I'm too far into my program even though I qualify for it. This is my last semester of my associates and I've paid for it all myself up until now. They said...

  20. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

    peas&carrots replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work in a pharmacy as a tech and if you are thinking about being a retail pharmacist you will definitely have to be a people person. The amount of time I have to spend explaining insurance to...

  21. I get so excited at the beginning of the semester

    peas&carrots replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also have alot of credits this semester but I just tell myself the more I take now the less I have to take when I'm in the program. It will be nice just to take straight nursing classes. I could...

    peas&carrots replied to Servingshots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester of O.Chem. and if it wasn't for the cool labs I would hate it. I'm going into the nursing program in the fall and I don't really need it. If I wasn't so close to finishing my...

    peas&carrots replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm some what of a test crammer so I loved having time before lab tests to study last minute. I'm lucky enough to have A&P at night and the rest of my courses during the day. Having to know...
