I have a genuine question, I’ve wanted to be a nurse for a long time now. I’m at the top of my class - 18th out of 300 - and have great SAT/ACT scores. However, I smoke a lot of weed; it’s something i’ve always been ashamed of and wanted to know if you get drug tested for THC while in nursing school. Please don’t be bias in your answer, if I have to quit weed for my future, I have to.
@@trepid4220 I'm not sure what you mean by don't be bias but to answer your question, I had to take a drug test prior to getting accepted into my nursing program. We have to take drug test during the program as well. If someone fails the drug test, they won't be able to continue the program.
Going from business owner and welder/fabricator to possibly starting nursing school because of major carpal tunnel syndrome for the past 5 years and no end in sight. Thanks for putting out good information to help people getting into the nursing world quickly and smoothly.

I just got to accepted into nursing school on Thanksgiving week of this year 2023!!! I cannot wait this video has been so helpful it is so exciting and I think it's going to be very smart that I get a heads up on it so that I'm not overwhelmed in school thank you so much!
Your so right my daughter just took her first math test she missed 5 so they do grant test retake hopefully she pass next time but your cheat sheet is awesome

Im 47 was in special ed throughout all my school years from 2nd grade through 12th. I dropped out of jr college because my grades were so low and i never passed a math or science class. My gpa is 0.8 and ive never had a job of any kind. My iq is 86. What are the i can succeed in this?
I would definitely reach out to an academic advisor to see what your options are. There are a gazillion nursing programs of all different types and maybe one will be a good fit for you! 🤗 Keep your hopes up!!
Hi there, I have a question! I just downloaded your dosage calculations pdf and I was a little confused on practice problem #2. Q. The doctor ordered 50 mg of Metoprolol twice a day for hypertension. You only have 25 mg tablets in the med cart. How many tablets will you give your patient? A. 50 mg/1 day x 1 tablet/25 mg = 2 tablets So I'm curious about the 2 tablets of 25 mg only amounting to 50 mg, when in the problem it says 50 mg twice a day. So would the total amount of mg the patient needs in a day be 100 mg? If so, wouldn't that mean the nurse has to give 4 tablets to the patient instead of 2? Sorry, I'm just a little confused on the math. Does the amount of times a patient take a medication not apply to the math? Please let me know as I am also learning this information! :)
@user-wz6iq8kn2z, we actually walk through this problem in this video too: ruclips.net/video/EqwarsFVsYY/видео.html but you would only solve for the dose that is ordered and due right then. You wouldn't be figuring it out for the entire day, just for that dose unless it was otherwise specifically noted. So when it is asking us how many tablets we would give our patient that is for that specific dose, not the full day. I hope that clarifies it for you!
I'm in nursing school and everything she said is so true. It's important to study the information that the teacher gives you!!!

@@trepid4220yes you will need to quit. A lot of nursing schools require drug tests and physicals prior to going to school
YESSSSS!! It's seriously so important!
I loved every minute this video. The light of Christ really shines through you.
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Georgiana Linton! You will do GREAT! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
yes, you are so right. Our nursing Co-chair person attached a ppt and I saw that Dosage calculation, learning styles, and Health Assessement.
Yes!! Those are the most common topics when you start school. So it's good to be prepared!

hi, which school did you got acept it?
How is school going for you so far?? I hope it's going well!!! 🤗
Any updates? How is it going?
Our school requires us to get 100% on our dosage exam. Their reason, “is it okay to calculate 9/10 patient dosages correctly?”
