I want to get into an LVN program, but unfortunately I REALLY suck at math and I wanted to see if it would be a huge problem. I am pre- algebra
Medicine and Science.What all do they teach nurses that are in Anesthesia Schooling?
My list:
~Biology
~Biochemistry
~Nursing
~Chemistry
~Maybe something related to Arts
I’m a Sophmore at a Community College and I have not declared major yet (shame on me!). I have many interests and I don’t know what to choose. I really like other things that are not listed above. I am not good at Math and I’ve been having some real troubles with my college math so far. I like sciences, in high school I used to do great in sciences (but Physics) but not in math. If I desire to major in something listed above, will the math really impact my career? Does these majors require lots of math?
I am pretty good in Geometry, I got only As in my high school geometry class (which I took in my Senior year).
Any recommendation?
The patient has atropine gr 1/120 ordered. The label reads atropine 400mcg/ml. How many ml will you give?
I’m so nervous.I start the nursing program in August and I need to refresh my math so I don’t do dosing wrong.What specifically do I need to study to prepare me?
Math errors in nursing result in medication errors, as this is generally the only area in wich you use more than the most basic math (calculating dosages, medications based on body-mass-indexes, etc). Look up some of the legal implications of medication errors… prison sentences dues to negligence. Regardless of anything the doctor prescribed or the pharmacy provided, giving the WRONG med or the WRONG dosage lays solely on the shoulders of the nurse who administered it. You really need to know how to calculate and convert different measurement systems as well as figure out IV flow rates, etc. Also very important for monitoring intake and output….
I’m absolutely incompetent with math beyond the 8th grade level. Is there any hope for me in the healthcare career field?
I’m going into my senior year of highschool in the fall and I am picking my classes. I decided not to take Pre-Calc because I just don’t want that hassle to deal with. I am, however, taking medical terminology and ap bio. Would you think it would affect my chances of getting into a nursing program?
