"NS" stands for normal saline, which is an IV fluid solution consisting of water with 0.9% sodium chloride dissolved in it. 500 cc means 500 milliliters, or half a liter. A bolus means that it should be given all at once, as fast as the patient's IV will tolerate. For an IV drip like this, that is typically at a rate of 1000 ml/hr. So this order is for a half liter of normal saline IV fluid to be administered quickly over a half hour.
