I am 37 years old and decided to go back to school to become an RN. It's been many years since I was in school, so; needless to say all this has been both exciting and nerve-wracking for me. I decided to research online about tips regarding the HESI test; that is how I found your page. Wanted to take a minute to thank you for taking the time to give so much advice/information as you have. I've got index cards out, taking notes! Thanks again, Dawn Hi Sarah,

Oh yes dosage calculations are a doozy...you got to love them. I haven't started this semester back yet....that day comes next week. I am just glad it is my last semester. Wow, I know your busy doing the accelerated program (I couldn't imagine...I am almost dying doing the traditional). Yep, as a nursing student say goodbye to your social life! Good thing I have a blog to keep a somewhat social life lol. Good luck with everything! Glad to see some other RN nursing students out there! Sarah :-) Hey Fred,

Yeah dosage calculations are a doozy. Its great insight to see how other student s or experienced RN's address dosage calculations and their approach to the solutions. So much info on the net to filter through. There is site out there I recall that has a fast soultion to converting mass and volume by either divding by 1k or multiplying by 1k. FYI.. studnet RN here at Kaplan College in San Diego-its an accelerated program but manageable, though at the cost of a social life and calling any coffee shop your second home. We, too, are back in the swing of things as the semester begins, and back to being the little monkey on the organ grinder. Good Blog. Yeah dosage calculations are a doozy.
