  1. Does anyone know of a website or place to get a flow chart for selecting needle length/gauge? Our book is very disorganized and even contradicts itself in various places. Plus, I can't find anything detailed enough to be useful on the internet! I am...
  2. Flow chart for needle length/gauge selection?

    Our text says that viscosity is a variable. "Syringes and needles come in many sizes and are selected according to the route the medication is to be given, the patient’s body size, the viscosity (or thickness) of the medication, and the amount of med...
  3. No orientation, shadowing or training

    Very sad! Ask for your oreintation/shadowing in writing. Send a professional email to all the supervisors stating that you feel that you can do this job but you, like any other new health care worker, need a little guidance before getting thrown int...

  9. "Fake" or Nonprescriptive Eyeglasses

    Sounds like a great opportunity for a social experiment to me. Why don't you buy a pair and wear them for a week to see if people treat you differently. It may be a good idea to make sure there are lenses in them as a minimum standard LOL

    Generally unuded finaid dollars can carry over to the summer as long as they are enough to bring you up to full term. So you would atleast need to take 2credit hour class. Also note: that legislation regarding Pell Grant rules changes every year, so ...
  11. Being directed to get a patients son a ride home

    But this post is not about a "young teen mother;" It's about a 26yo woman. Furthermore, while it may be reasonable to assume that the patient was a single mom, the original post did not state that she was. It is also possible that the family didn't h...

    An older post on here said PC had LRMC or Florida Baptist depending on the day. Im fine with either as distance wise they are the same, but I am hoping for Thursdays. I think its the last term of Nursing when we will get to pick from a list.

    Did you email through the HCC directory? I sent one to my professor, but haven't gotten a reply. Annoying part is: I have no way of knowing if she received the directory initiated email or if she is simply not responding to emails yet.

    They kept rejecting my varicella lab report. I had to online-chat them to get them to put it in manually. You may need to do the same.
  15. Nurses laid off - Thanks to Obamacare

    I'm not an Obama fan, nor a fan of any other politician for that matter; however, I don't see how having to pay for something that you damaged is a non-fair policy. Very few landlords around here will fix a dishwasher or a washer/dryer; they are cons...

    Agreed! I have to give a min. 2 weeks notice at work to get my schedule changed; not to mention, needing to make arrangements for someone to pick up my kids from school. ~ boohoo
  17. Math rage

    I found the scientific math I did in Micro and Chem to be much better at preparing me for medical calculations. After calculating percent yield and serial dilutions, dosage calcs are a breeze. As for the quadradic equation....blah

    Ive also started reading Chapter 31 Medication Administration from Potter and Perry. Its a long chapter! It supports and adds to the info from the calculation book.

    Is anyone else still waiting on their financial aid award info/letter? I turned in my verification papers in on 4/18 and still don't have anything posted in Hawnet....sigh

    I found Danskos to be hard on my feet. Very little shock absoprtion and a stiff sole. I have very high arches with a hard heel strike, so I need a lot of shock absoprtion and a flexible sole so my arches can stretch. I heart my Reebok Runtones: too b...
  21. Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

    I almost took that route as I also prefer real books; however, I really like Ebooks when I need to cross reference a subject across multiple chapters. Being able to search "hyperglycemia" and seeing it highlighted in the cardio, diabetes, and respira...
