I am having trouble figuring out what calculation to use.

My final exam is this Saturday. I think I understand most of the practice test questions except these three. Thank you in advanc for any help Nitro 23 mg in D5W 230 ml at 50 mcg/min. Calculate the infusion rate in ml/hr An iv is regulated at 40microgtt/min over 5 hours how many ml will the patient receive in ml Order: 50mg penicillin in 250ml d5w everyday Available: vial that is labeled 5mg/mlof penicillin. How many ml should be added to the iv bag?

Sorry 125 mg

If a doctor orders 150 mg of amoxicillin once a day and you have 125 on hand how many mg will you give per dose? Thanks

Congratulations, I hope to be posting something similar to this is two years.

I am 31 a mother of 5 and #6 will be here in 8 weeks. I eat,sleep and breath nursing. I don't think there is anything I want more. I don't know if its my hormones talking or if I really feel this way, but I have been reading a lot of articles about how hard school is and the percentage of dropouts. There is a lot of negative talk at school about how most of us will not graduate. I know it will get harder and I wouldn't expect anything less than that( it is nursing school). I feel like giving up at times like whats the point. Have any of you ever felt this way? How did you get your motivation back? Thanks.

I went to ITT today for an informational session for there nursing program. 50,000 dollars? Is this legal? The graduation rate for this program is around 10 percent not to mention that out of those that graduate only 20 percent pass the NCLEX. I have also heard for there clinical's they watch videos because most hospitals will not accept there student nurses. Does anyone else have information on them?
