  1. IV Calculation

    Hi guys. I'm a first semester nursing student and I'd like to pick your brains for a minute. I find health calculations simple because the math never changes, it all boils down to extracting the pertinent information from the problem and solving for ...
  2. IV Calculation

    Thank you for the clarification. That's the justification I was looking for. And for the other issue with the wheeze, we had a question today that threw us all for a loop as well. We were given a simulated chart with two oral and two parenteral medic...
  3. IV Calculation

    I'm glad you guys are responding to this, I am genuinely curious as to what other professionals think and I'm not trying to be difficult, I promise. However, I tend to agree with Don1984 in that her use of "q" instead of "over" can be misleading. Its...
  4. IV Calculation

    Thanks for the reply! I understand the rationale for the answer, but I guess my dilemma is trying to figure out if my instructor was correct in using q8h as meaning "over 8 hours" instead of "every 8 hours", as all literature I can find states the de...
  5. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    I got in with a cumulative gpa of 3.1 and 33 points because six years ago I was given an incomplete in a course which affected my average and points big time. Not sure if they calculated that or not, but without it I would have had a ~3.5 and 37 poin...

    I would assume that it is Volume 1, though I don't remember anyone being specific. The first volume states at the beginning of the chapter the "theoretical knowledge," and the second volume "practical knowledge." So it is my belief that we should hav...
  7. Who Here Has Worked Their Butt Off???

    Yes, those are some ignorant words from your dad! I finally decided to buckle down and get my schooling done a little over two years ago at 28- with five kids! Luckily for me, my wife is very supportive and though I have worked a more-than-full-time ...
  8. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    yep, its posted on webadvisor for me. i've got a question though- for our watches, did the instructor specify whether a wrist watch or pocket watch was required? I haven't worn one in years, but would assume a pocket watch with a clip of sorts would ...

    I was just reviewing my paperwork and it doesn't list the room number the CPR class is being held in, does anyone remember?
  12. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Yeah, same here

    I spoke with the assistant today and she said it could be picked up on Monday, I was going to pick mine up today, but she was leaving at 3 so I didn't have time after work. I think the class starts before the offices open.
  14. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Very nice, glad things went good and thanks for reporting!
  15. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    do tell how it goes...i'm going to pick up the book sometime in the next few days. I signed up for the 30th class so that I could take two consecutive days off from work. Getting really nervous about leaving my job next month
  16. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Congrats everyone who got in! Don't forget to sign up for a CPR class by this Friday if you aren't already certified.

  20. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Got my acceptance!! So much to do now though...
  21. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    I just talked with a friend of mine here in Evans who did receive her denial letter today:( However, either my application didn't get processed properly or I'll have some good news come next week- still hoping. Good luck for you guys too!
  22. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Critical thinking...I like your response Janeyloo, its logical. I really should be more objective, lol
  23. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    I'm starting to fear the worst. I didn't get anything today either. Although I did receive a letter from admissions regarding another matter postmarked July 12...so if something was coming my way and mailed yesterday it should have been here.
  24. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Any word yet anyone else? I'm out of town right now but will be home later...expecting something I'm the mail today though
  25. Any 2013 Aiken Tech nursing hopefuls??

    Janeyloo, I'm in Martinez, and nothing in my mailbox today either, so if they were mailed yesterday, then surely they will be here tomorrow.
