hello nurse1123, i just finished that same chapter today. yes, i am guessing that they are basing the rationale on the fact that this task is in the scope of practice for an lpn/lvn. in the real world it is whatever the protocol of the facility, howe...

Hey like that about the student nursing association!

nursing math simplified was the book of choice for most of our class. it teaches the basics and the book is not filled with any "fluff", only the information you need to solve the problems.

yep i gained about 20 lbs in a 12month period. my blood pressure shot up from 110/70 to 130/70. and i attribute it to all the sitting around and studying. not being able to cook & feeling guilty if i exercised instead of using that time to study....

use your syllabus as a guide and read everything! although you may not see it on any of your class exams, you may never know when or where you may see something again. also it helps to try to read ahead and be prepared for class, but this is not alw...

hello, i am in my second semester and what i have found that works for me is to have my reading completed at least 2 to 3 days before the exam so that i can have time to do nclex questions from my nclex review guide. answering the questions and read...

Hello, not looking for memorization tips. I am looking for any techniques or strategies that any of you guys may have used for learning the various medications. My school has given us a list of about 20 different meds ( we have to know all the inform...

Thanks Doublehelix I will remember the rule of 10!

Ok thanks you guys! flashcards and explaining what I've learned in my own words (well I know I have to incorporate the medical terminology into my explainations). Again Thanks!!!:)

CONGRATS TO YOU ASKIM!!!
