  1. Should I still apply to Nursing schools even if I do not have healthcare experience?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Es90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

  15. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

  16. Help Please! I can't figure out this dosage problem

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    911brat, dosage calc problems are basically just ratio/proportion problems. Once you learn to set them up, they will come easily. You may want to pick up a book like Math For Nurses from Amazon,...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing
