    Advice about Clinical

    loriangel14 replied to theviolinist's topic in General Students

    That's a pretty big judgement for her to be making in your first semester.Most students are nervous wrecks during clinicals. This does not mean you will be a bad nurse.Yes right now you would be...

    Your plan sounds just fine. Not plunging willy nilly into a bunch of debt is a good idea in these uncertain times.You sound like you have both feet on the ground. Good

    loriangel14 replied to HawaiianDreams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Their answer makes no sense. 92.7 x 6 = 556.2. Two doses a day would be 1112.4mg daily. 92.7 x 4=370.8. Two doses a day would be 741.6 mg daily. You don't divide the dose, you would multiply it.Each...

    Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    loriangel14 replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I didn't see the show but it sounds like he gave terrible advice. Depression has to be treated like any other medical condition and saying that medication should not be used is very ignorant.As the...
