I have a question. I am working on Reconstitution of Solutions. Working on the part where you calculate the amount of solute needed....I know the formula Desired strength x amount of desired solution = Solute (solution to be dissolved) Ordered amount - Solute = Amount of solvent needed OK, here is the question.. Order 1/3 strength Ensure 900mL by NG tube over 8 hours I can work that out and get 600mL solvent needed Next questions.... Order 3/4 strengh Isomil 4oz q4h for 24 hours I worked this out and got 30ml solvent needed....but the anwer in the book is 180mL (which is 6 feedings) Why is it figured per doage on the first question and then for 24 hours on the second question? Thanks

I am in the same boat as a few others....I went to college 20 years ago for 3 years and my parents paid for my college....now 20 years later...I have too many credits and don't qualify for student loans....even though I have never had a student loan before......only because too many credit hours :-((( Doesn't seem fair! So we are paying out of pocket.........

I took the teas-v test back in May for the first time. I have been out of high school for 20 years so I was scared to DEATH about taking the test. What I had not taken in my pre-req courses, I was relying on rememberring from 20 years ago. I bought several study books, but I liked the ATI study book the best. Best thing I can tell you is to really pay attention to the science section. On my test, that seemed to be the heaviest area, with a lot that seemed to be chemistry and earth science so I really struggled in that area. I would up making a 78% and I got into a nursing program and I start in a few weeks. I know it isn't a great score and I was going to take it again....but I was afraid that I would make a lower score! I didn't know how much was just luck that I got right! Spend the money and take a sample test online. I hated to spend the money; but I wanted to see where I was and what areas I needed to focus on more....and it was definately science! I can't stress enough to review the elements table. I wasn't familiar at all with it! Hope this helps! Good luck!

Ladies I know that I am late in getting in this conversation but I am wondering is you can help me with which books exactly we need first semester. I got an email with a list....but no ISDN numbers....and there looks to be books that we might not need (NCLEX, Mosby's, etc).... And what about the lab kit that is on the list? I guess after they told us at orientation the other night that we would be going to class two nights a week and lab two nights a week that I didn't hear anything after that! I don't know when they think we are going to study! I mean, most people chose the night time program work a full time job. Between work, my kids 6 and 7, my husband....I guess I will have to give up that nasty little habit I partake in every night.....SLEEP :eek Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

I just got a phone call today telling me that I was accepted in the Fall 2011 night/weekend program!!!! I can not believe it!!! I have applied so many times I had just about given up!!! :):):):)
