  1. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    Samantha79 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    hummm... this is how I go about it... I set up the calculation on paper (usually ratio and proportion) and get it down to something like 246x=1184. Now I know how to solve that, but dividing 1184 by...

    Samantha79 replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

  7. Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    Samantha79 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Ours let us use a calculator. I can't imagine that your school would want you mulitplying 12,184 x 11,897 in your head, or even using pen and paper... too many chances for a mistake and a mistake...

  8. Too much on my plate need advice!!!!

    Samantha79 replied to NAZIZ's topic in General Students

  14. What Stethoscope do I purchase for nursing school?

    Samantha79 replied to luv2garden's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I purchased the Littman Classic II S.E. I think it was around $80 at the uniform shop. It costs less online, but then you have to pay for shipping too... so it works out about the same. I'll be...

    Samantha79 replied to Malory371's topic in General Students
