Thanks guys! I guess I reaaly did need to just vent.

Hi all! I am starting my med-surg rotation in 2 weeks and wanted any helpful hints and advice. I have the review and rationales book, a mnemonic book, clinical handbook, HESI book and other supplemental material. I need a study plan, because I am a m...

I hope so. Good luck to you also!!! We will survive. Keep me posted Eagle Wings :-)

That answer seems impossible. If the med is in 10mL of solution and needs to be administered in 30 minutes, the only logical rate would be 20mL per hour. If 10 is given in 30 then 20 would be given in an hour. Here is how i set the problem up. 10mL ...

I'm in BSN program and Pharm is taken before Fundamentals. In fundamentals we will be giving meds. It seems that you would have to have medication knowledge prior to giving the meds. If they do it concurrently it would make sense to cover a med, then...

My overall GPA was 3.65. We did take the TEAS and I got a 79 on that. They do a ranking system at CSU, with the highest number being 15 which most people don't get. They account for science GPA, overall GPA, how many CSU credits you have, 2nd degree,...

When prioritizing we use maslows. If the physiological i.e. pain is not met you can not move up to the next level.

Me too! I am a 33 year old mother of three and I am terrified. I start actual classes on Jan 20th 2011. I think we can do it. I felt like once we were done with pre-reqs it would be a walk in the park. Now I am a nervous wreck. I know we can do it! I...
