Awesome thank you for the heads up! Pharm online over the summer was cake, I got an A and put maybe 50% effort so I have a feeling these classes will be totally doable. Give me a heads up when you get your acceptance letter! I'll keep this thr...

I'm a little confused with this because on the directions it says "8ml (when mixed with 8ml of diluent)" wouldn't this mean a total of 16ml? Please let me know if I'm totally off. Thank you
I am learning too! I am just continuing the conversation and trying to facilitate the discussion. If he/she reads this they may learn something. For all we know they may not ever come back on this website (I hope they do and i hope things are more...
OK so if we need to give 125ml over 30 min we can set the pump for 250ml/hr and let it run for 30 minutes. Is this thinking too abstract or will it work?
It's going to be 4.16ml/min. I got this because I just divided 125ml/30min. If you take 4.16ml every minute for 30 minutes it comes to 125 ml total. If I'm wrong please someone stop me now and clarify. Thank you

If your program in competitive you will need As in all your core sciences. If you can't get As you won't be getting in as easily. It just depends on your program. I personally took my core classes by themselves or with easy GE classes.

To take a BP manually requires as little as a plastic disposable steth. You should not need anything fancy. You do need to make sure you are aware of the anatomy and the artery location. If your steth is not on the artery it will be hard to hear...
For the first one I would reconstitute with 4.75ml of NS and put it at 1ml/min for 5 minutes. The second one will be 1ml/min and it will take 4 minutes. This may be wrong but this is what I got.
I am right there with you. I have a wife and ten month old daughter that I am supporting while I go to school full time. I am going the community college route. I will be applying to Saddleback college nursing program tomorrow. I have the tuiti...
