    First time posters

    KrCmommy522 replied to AceOfHearts<3's topic in General Students

    I always try to respond to posters and help them as best I can. This site helped me many times when I was going through nursing school, so I try to give back!! I had a poster who was really rude to me...

    Intake and Output

    KrCmommy522 replied to dreamerachiever's topic in General Students

    I agree!! Those were my thoughts too!! I did the calculations over and over and I'm thinking to myself, "I don't get this! I never had an issue with this in nursing school. I've never had an issue...

    How do you take notes in nursing school?

    KrCmommy522 replied to Nursingblue's topic in General Students

    I had the same problem when I first started nursing school. What I noticed is that the main sentence at the beginning of each paragraph usually stated the main point of that paragraph, so I would...

    Silly question. Urine output per hour?

    KrCmommy522 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Students

    You might be better off starting your own post, but I'll give my two-sense! I think you meant 0.5 mL/kg/hr, not 05? 0.5 mL/kg/hr at 90 kg So 0.5 mL/kg/hr x 90 kg = 45 mL/hr Then, if you have the hr,...

    Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice

    KrCmommy522 replied to green34's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can rent it on Amazon or you can buy it or purchase an older edition which would be cheaper. You could also look on ebay which you'd be surprised what you can find on there! As for any free PDFs...

    impaired elimination

    KrCmommy522 replied to xstarzi3x's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The OP said he/she knows how impaired elimination can effect the integumentary system but not affect it. So, now that the grammatical tense has been explained, the OP will now know that knowing how...

    Intake and Output

    KrCmommy522 replied to dreamerachiever's topic in General Students

    Her question states she is supposed to calulate I&O at 0700 and ending 1500. As 203bravo stated, a "glass" comes in many sizes. We always used the standard glass size of 8 oz (240 mL) Stated...

    Nursing preceptor OR or Mother Baby

    KrCmommy522 replied to Morgk01's topic in General Students

    Maybe the poster is trying to decide which area to do the practicum in? When I did my practicum we got to put our top choice, second choice, etc. They tried to give us our top choice, but that time...

    Making too many notecards?

    KrCmommy522 replied to Mapachita's topic in General Students

    I don't think you're doing too much. You need to do what works for you to learn the information. You need to look at why you failed before - what were you NOT doing that you should have been, or what...

    Transferring nursing credits after failing out

    KrCmommy522 replied to Blittle2018's topic in Texas Nursing

    You would have to call the school you are looking to transfer to and find out if they would accept the credits. That's the only way to know for sure. You might have a better chance just staying at...

    dosage calculation

    KrCmommy522 replied to Grnbay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You have the correct answer - 463.6 mg/day I usually always use dimensional analysis too. I like being able to follow along the path cancelling out what I don't need to get what I do need. But, the...

    Federal Loan Repayment Programs?

    KrCmommy522 replied to KrCmommy522's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you so much! I will look into that! I did find that like the amount of money you get is based on the score the critical shortage area has. I also found one thing on the site that you could look...

    Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    KrCmommy522 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    The school I graduated from didn't use to allow students to opt out of vaccinations - at least I don't believe they did. But, while I was completing the program I heard from students that they were...

    HBsAb ranges

    KrCmommy522 replied to TJayqt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think you should focus so much on the varying ranges. Just that as long as it is ≥ 10 IU/mL. Of course, the larger the level, the greater the immunity. But, they only look to ensure...
