  1. Help with this calculation please for gtt/min

    augurey replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong... But if you're infusing 40 mL in 1 hour, you would divide the 40 x 60 by 60 minutes (or 1 hour). So it'd be (40)(60)/60. The second one is infusing over 30...

  2. Nurses with eating disorders?

    augurey replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a student, but I've been struggling with bulimia for about 16 years, and then binge eating about 8-10 years before that. I've often wondered how it would be once I become a nurse. Like if...

  3. NursingABC - Portage Learning

    augurey replied to Grace Favour's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You have a year to complete from the start of the first module. All courses on NursingABC / Portage Learning is self paced, so you pretty much complete as quickly or as slowly as you want (within the...

  4. Tri-C Clinical sites

    augurey replied to AnnieTheFrog's topic in School, College Programs

    You may want to call the school and see if they can give you a general idea of how far you can expect to travel for clinicals. I don't know if it applies to the majority of nursing schools in the...

    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    I have finals this week. Already ready for this week to be over with, but only 2 more days! Life Span was only 6 weeks and got an A, but it was really easy. I just took my Med Surg 2 final today and...

  6. Can you be pregnant in nursing school?

    augurey replied to leikela91's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Definitely check with your school. Each school handles pregnancy differently. You'll need to find out what their policies are - see if their normal policy is adjusted at all in the...

  9. Mercy College-Toledo 2014-2015

    augurey replied to tmccormi25's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think GPA cut off is 2.7 (either from high school or all colleges combined), but I got in with less than that (with a personal statement with my application - my poor grades where from about a...

  11. fat in nursing school

    augurey replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    Maybe it's a long shot, but do you think you could talk to a counselor or someone that specializes in weight management? Maybe that could help you sort your thoughts and work on ways to be more...

  12. *Test Taking Tips*

    augurey replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    Thank you! That's very helpful. I'll definitely try to avoid doing that from now on as I'd rather not be in the habit of needing to do it, and then finding myself in that position for the NCLEX.

  13. *Test Taking Tips*

    augurey replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    Is brain dumping only when you write down all the info at the beginning? Or at any point during the exam? We have math questions on every exam. Whenever we have conversions like teaspoon to ounces,...

  14. Applying for nursing schools!

    augurey replied to Futurenurse2323's topic in General Students

    I think I / my school may be the exception. Or perhaps like Guy in Babyland, I used up my box of Good Karma. I think my program requires a 2.5 or a 2.7 minimum to get in. Well, yes and no. They make...

  15. Mercy college of Ohio ASN 2016

    augurey replied to Kat_Future_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    It's hard to say as I'm not sure how similar the Toledo program is with the Youngstown program. I'd imagine they are structured similarly, but I also know that the Toledo campus has some resources...

  16. Mercy college of Ohio ASN 2016

    augurey replied to Kat_Future_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Are you going to the Toledo or Youngstown campus? I go the Youngstown campus, and I really like it. I've only just completed my second semester, but I've had a good experience so far. I really feel...

  18. In my feelings

    augurey replied to Shanella25's topic in General Students

    For what it's worth, I thought the same at 22. Now that I'm almost 32, my perspective has changed quite a bit! I withdrew from college at 19. Went back at 22 and withdrew after a semester and a half...

  19. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    augurey replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    How's everyone doing? I'm assuming everyone is right around or in finals right now! Tomorrow is my last final of the semester. So far: Nutrition: A English 102: A A&P II: Final grade shows A, but...

  20. ATI Proctored Fundamentals A and/or B

    augurey replied to ayelah_ganda's topic in General Students

    If you have physical copies of the ATI books, I'd go through those. If not, after you log into ATI, on the main page towards the middle right under "Product Support Material", click where it states...

  21. Parent of baby/nursing student

    augurey replied to UAA2018bsngrad's topic in General Students

    I think the ease of school and the age of the baby/child really depends on the baby/child as they are all different. My 2.5 year old is considerably easy while things are so much more difficult with...

    augurey replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in General Students

    I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. For me, both of my kids are in daycare full time. It's hard for me to have them in there so much (but my daughter does love it, and I know my 6 month old is...

  24. Want to quit nursing school

    augurey replied to student_nurse2016's topic in General Students

    I think if confidence / anxiety is your main issue, maybe look into getting more help for that. I could have practically written this post myself. I'm a shy introvert that has never had confidence in...

  25. Didn't Get Accepted Into Nursing School, what to do next?

    augurey replied to aanugwom's topic in General Students

    Is there any chance of you moving out? Getting an apartment with a friend/roommate? Nursing programs are competitive. It sounds like they are putting an awful lot of unnecessary pressure on you....
