  2. Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

    bgxyrnf replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

    1) I assure you that I am not affiliated with any nursing school... I am feasting off of the OT opportunities in local EDs and couldn't take the pay cut.2) Yes, the OP is paying for the education but...

  4. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    bgxyrnf replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've put them in a ZIP file that's only 420k... If you still can't download them, PM to me an e-mail address and I'll send them to you. They were done in Word 2003; I don't recall there being any...

  5. What did you do in the ER today?

    bgxyrnf replied to Kinda Flustered's topic in Emergency

    Just a bit of advice... dump the "ASN" from your statement... it's irrelevant.Congrats, though. I've had the opportunity to see inside a bunch of different units and departments and, bar none, the ED...

  6. Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    bgxyrnf replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm. Clicking on one of the links from IE gives me the message box shown at the bottom of this screen shot. Click "Save" or use the drop-down to select "Save as" or "Save and open" Exactly what do...

  7. Dosage problem help

    bgxyrnf replied to risenlol's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I presume that you figured it out for yourself. If not, let me know and I'd be happy to guide you.It is indeed very straightforward and hon918 has given you a nudge... convert the drip rate into a...

    I don't know what "IP" is... is that an Apple thing? I only speak Windows. If by "Google" you mean "Google Chrome" then yes, you can download them with Google Chrome. If you mean something pertaining...

  10. Dosage Calculations

    bgxyrnf replied to Chronicallychanging's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To follow up on KelRN215's post, I'm likewise confused by what you were intending... and need to point out that your units are inconsistent across the equality. mL/hr/mg does NOT equate to mL/hr. It...

  11. Dosage Calculations

    bgxyrnf replied to Chronicallychanging's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your comment, "I realize I am probably totally wrong" reveals a lack of confidence... it really was as simple as it

  12. Membership Package Survey

    bgxyrnf replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    There's a problem in the survey in that it requires you to pick a choice that would provoke you to buy a membership. I purchased a membership many years ago and had an experience which clearly...

  13. Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

    bgxyrnf replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

    Sure, there are the occasional bad question... which maybe knocks your grade down a little... Over the course of a whole class, though, it averages out and one's course score is largely reflective of...

  14. Feeling Incompetent

    bgxyrnf replied to vanaly's topic in General Students

    If you were too dumb to be a nurse you would already have flamed out.Anybody of average intelligence with fair attention to detail and a decent work ethic has the basic elements in place to be a...

  15. So worried....Should i quit RN program due to legal/background issue?

    bgxyrnf replied to jss1985's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Replied to your post prior to reading the thread... It looks like you're going forward with a plan.

    When I click on the link using a Win7 machine and Firefox, I get the following box: I select the "Save File" option and go from there. I could also right-click and select "Save link as" What are you...

    How do I get a job in the ED/NICU/ICU/L&D? Um, same way that you get any other

  19. Hydration Stations in the Nursing Station

    bgxyrnf replied to 1Crazynurse's topic in General Nursing

    And if you want to really do it right, insist on surveillance swabs to prove that there is some "reasonable" risk of contamination. Beat 'em with logic... and

  20. Hydration Stations in the Nursing Station

    bgxyrnf replied to 1Crazynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well there you go... I argue that there is *no* reasonable likelihood of occupational exposure at the nurse's station as evidenced by the fact that so many docs and nurses disregard the rule without...

  21. Can't handle certain surgery.

    bgxyrnf replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    We've all got our icky things... or at least we did. By this point, there's pretty much nothing that gets to me... except maybe maggot-infested, necrotic cancer wounds... last time around with one of...

    bgxyrnf replied to miss.martz's topic in Patient Medications

    I was in college (the first time) when it came out and we binged on it... then they brought it to the university and we binged on it again... then it came out on VHS and we had a truly epic theme...

  24. Dosage Calc!! I don't understand.

    bgxyrnf replied to miss.martz's topic in Patient Medications

    You added in the 4 doses part... the mfr recommendation says xxx mg/kg/q6h... which is what you calculated before you arbitrarily divided it by 4. If you were actually using units rather than simply...

    Today I started multiple IVs... 1 stick each, thank you very much. I did q2h turns on a debilitated guy with a documented sacral ulcer. I stood at the bedside of the same guy with his sats in the mid-...
