    Yeah, I knew it had to be a math or science course. There's always that one student that just doesn't get it and wastes the time of everyone.

    That seems unusual. Maybe you'd have to use it to figure out dosage levels of drugs for patients depending on weight, height, age etc? it just seems very strange. Usually you'd just need basic Maths skills (like those you just described).

    Well, as a nurse you have to be able to calculate correct dosages for patients without using a calculator/computer, and be able to remember the different formulas depending on the drug in question and what form it is.

    There are some things where you'd have to use formulas all under a square root. But I don't get why you couldn't use a calculator for purposes of the test. It's not like you aren't going to be able to use them on the job.

    Well, with the smartphone craze that's going on now (the original college I went to REQUIRED you to have a smartphone for the course. No smartphone, no degree, pretty much), you will have the information you need anyways, along with a calculator. Hence the confusion.

    Hey, you're not on IRC either. Am I in the wrong one then?

    When you're actually on the job, being able to look up the formulas is a ways from knowing it...

    If you know the formulas, that's fine. But do you know what formula goes with every drug off the top of your head? It's useful to get a reference document in case you forget.

    It still feels weird posting here. It has an unholy smell

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.

    A useful reminder is one thing. Going in relying on the reference document from the start is another, is what I meant.

    Just because the Matlab environment comes with an extensive reference documentation doesn't mean I shouldn't know how to do a Fourier transform by heart =/

    Physics or Maths? My fiancee asks.

    Yeah. Is somewhat amusing, in a morbid sort of way, how many of the errors come about is the nurse not raising concerns about the original dose. Or the dose they were given by another one (the heparin incident for one)
