There are a lot of nursing students that have previous undergrad degrees and even graduate degrees. Nursing is a career that is very attractive as a second career, I guess. In my program the oldest student was in her 60s and this was a traditional BSN program. We had people in their 30s, 40s, 50s also. So you will definitely not be the old one. I would recommend to jump into a RN program.

Apparently a lot of us misunderstood your post, then.

When you are adding medication to a fluid, you usually just count the fluid amount.

No conversion. The med Cefazolin sodium (ancef) 2gm is dissolved in 100 ml of NS. It's just 100ml. Yes, I think you are over thinking.

(Shakes head) Move along. Nothing to see here.

Does that make sense? Any questions?

The bolus of NS is counted twice because its every 4 hours.

Lactated ringers 150ml/hr (150*9=1350) Cefazolin sodium (ancef) 2gm iv with piggy back in 100ml normal saline 2units of packed rbcs @ 275 ml and 250 ml Bolus of 250ml normal saline every 4 hrs Ranitide (Zantac) 50mg iv in 50ml DSW over 30 minutes Answer is 2525 mL. 1350+100+275+250+250+250+50=2525

Basically you just add up the numbers. The first one is LR at 150/hr which comes to a total of 1350 for the total 9 hour surgery. then the next.

I just found this question on ATI it states "Cefazolin sodium (ancef) 2gm iv with piggy back in 100ml normal saline" not 200 so I got the right answer.
-
I got 2625

This is simple addition. But you're right, I don't get that answer also. There are mistakes in textbooks sometimes.

In Texas you can take it up to 8 times a year (45 day waiting period between each exam). I believe that most all states have a rule that if its been 2 years since you graduated, you must take a refresher.
