3. Help....Calculations...

   JustAnuthaGirl replied to JustAnuthaGirl's topic in General Students

   Yes...and I do know how to round....but I wasn't sure if I would round up when giving the medication to a child....and still don't know to be honest. I have not found it in any book...I was just following what our Pharm instructor taught us.

4. Help....Calculations...

   JustAnuthaGirl replied to JustAnuthaGirl's topic in General Students

   I completely understand what you are saying, and maybe if I wasn't rushing, I wouldn't have sounded as if I sit back and wait. I have always been one to ask questions and get resources from instructors that will help me in what I am trying to accomp...

   JustAnuthaGirl posted a topic in General Students

   We had a pretest the other day for calculations, and if we made 90%, we would not have to take the actual test. Well, I did not receive my email so I know I didn't pass. I kinda figured I wouldn't because I wasn't sure what to do when rounding. We ...

   JustAnuthaGirl replied to Christian_SN's topic in General Students

   May 2006...I can't wait, and almost can't believe it. When I first started school in 2002, I knew I was motivated, but I didn't feel smart enough to make it. At times I still don't...but I keep telling myself..."What is two semesters? I have breeze...

9. Are any of you also working CNA's?

   JustAnuthaGirl replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Students

   I have also been working as a CNA for about 5 years in LTC. I just recently started a new job as a tech in a hospital, and it is a full-time position. Once school starts back, they really don't want to cut me back to part time, so I am going to do ...

12. Externships are WONDERFUL!!

    JustAnuthaGirl replied to klone's topic in General Students

    I am happy to hear that it is such a great experience. I was also interested in doing an externship, but the hospital where I aplied only offered the program from June through August, so I applied for a PCT (patient care tech) position. I just star...

14. What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

    JustAnuthaGirl replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students
