Everytime I hear someone going into OB, I always remember what this old Nurse told me once. She got out of OB and I asked her why.... Crouches, she said, crouches thats all you ever see. made me lol. |

Patient Safety comes FIRST. :D Lol, well I'm not going into OB. It's just while in nursing school you go through all the clinical rotations. I'll probably end up working in Acute care at a hospital. Don't know if I could handle ER. LOL :gracebear: I eat, sleep, and breathe God's Grace. :luv: My Heart Is Taken :luv: [[No Private Msgs Please.]] |

IV induction via propofol is the standard and it's so fast acting there's no need to have patients "count to 100" Lol well I'm barely in my second semester. We did IV's today in skills lab. Pretty fun! :gracebear: I eat, sleep, and breathe God's Grace. :luv: My Heart Is Taken :luv: [[No Private Msgs Please.]] |

Nursing maths should be no different than everyone math. Its a sad state of affairs when basic math is taught at college level courses. Ratios, fractions, proportions are required to be functional as a frikken homemaker. Or at least it used to be so. Maybe that's the problem. |
