Hello, I just graduated with my BSN in May. I don't have nursing experience yet, but was enlisted in the Navy as a Corpsman for 4.5 years. I'm not working yet as I'm the primary caregiver of my medically complex 9 month old. We're working on getting her a nurse so I can gain some official nursing experience. I'm prior enlisted--I was a Navy Corpsman for 4 years and am interested in joining Nurse Corps reserves but am having trouble finding requirements for each branch. I'm not sure what the process is like and how it differs from branch to branch, but I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Do all branches require experience beforehand? Are there any other programs that may be a better fit for me? Thanks for your time and guidance!

All right, I'll ask my professor about that one just to clarify. thanks for your help!

The information they're asking for is "dosage, route and time medication ordered. Tablets come scored." Would you just give one tablet in this case? I'm a brand new student, but I know that gr V=5 grains, which translates to 300mg. if I only need 300mg (or 92%) what do I do with the remaining 25mg?

I'm doing a pre-quiz for pharmacology & for some reason I can't seem to find information to answer my question. the problem is- administer Tylenol gr v po. The label on the available message reads"Acetaminophen 325 mg/tablet". How many tablets should be given? I know the actual answer is about 92%- but how would the answer be phrased? I can see splitting a tablet in halves and quarters but 92%? is that the correct answer? thanks for any of your help!
