Formula

So a few classmates were asking me what I answered for this question in our case study.

" The next day, the nurse initiates the feeding prescribed by the health care provider. The prescription is for half strength formula to infuse at 40 ml/hour. The formula is available in 8 ounce cans. The nurse is preparing enough formula for 12 hours.

How many cans of formula will the nurse need? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the whole number. "

At first I thought the question was hard as hell.

Then I learned the equivalents of the household and metric systems, 

and it became quite so simple.

So the order was for half strength, which would make it 20 ml/hour.

And the formula is available in 8 ounces, which would be 240 in milliliters.

So in a period of 12 hours, the total formula the patient should be given is 240 ml

12(hours) x 20(ml/hour) = 240 mL which is equivalent to 8 ounces.

It's so simple yet my mind likes to complicate it.

Nursing is just so full of contradictions.

I really don't know how to survive this. Being a detached person, it will be hard to stick my nose in other people's business.

Nursing also requires being nosy. I never would have guessed.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Mini birthday trip was great!
It helped me de-stress a little.
But it became too overwhelming again when I got back from the trip.
Was cut too short huhuh
God help me :(

Being with the DLS sisters is pure bliss.
Sorry Sammie but I've gotten used to not having you around since you keep ditching my behind.
The only trouble is fighting off my desire to see them.
Nursing school, why you gotta be hard D:

Beautiful place that was. Surely breath taking. Yes, I really took this picture. No photoshop, no nothing.

 Enjoyed the time spent with these girls 

I lubdub them <3

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.

It's quite sad that I try to find ways to avoid studying.

I know that I should be preparing for my first test, practicum and presentation (all of them have to be done within the same week)

Stressed much?

This morning I heard from some of my school mates that they've been crying due to the pressure and high expectations from the class.

Glad I'm not the only one who cries in her sleep at night!

Anyway, some of my excuses are plain ridiculous.

I actually baked these from scratch.

Crazy thing is that I don't even like baking.

Turned out to be pretty dry. I don't know if I used too much baking powder, I probably did.



They're called "Puto" in the Philippines, they're kinda like rice cakes

So I heard Anastasia was wondering why nobody talked to her about the outline she sent to everyone yesterday.

Well... payback's a bitch ain't it?

Now you know how it feels like to be ignored.

She pretty much did everything on her own, which one might think is good.

But for the rest of us, it feels like we're worthless as shit.

Well I wouldn't feel bad, I made the ribbons already haha.

What use is someone's pretty face when her attitude stinks more than a nasty sewer?

Blehh.



Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.
