Of course certain subjects might be far more advanced such as management of acute septic shock with integrated case scenarios et al. Perhaps one day allnurses might even consider sponsoring local "workshops" where various nursing skills could be reviewed and expanded upon. I often speak at work how I wish that there was a nursing "summer camp" that I could go to in order to improve my skills just as I used to go to wreastling and cross country camp for weeks at a time during my youth.
2. An activiism area would be neat. Let's say that I think my state should join the nursing license compact (so our licenses would be recognized in other states) it would be nice if there were an area where I could arrange to get together with like minded individuals.
1. have you checked out our students section?
just click on "students" on top.
everything conceivable, has been discussed.
do a search, i.e., "starting iv's".
and become familiar with Daytonite, who is nearly every student's mentor.
she is an invaluable resource...actually, for all of us.
2. check out our "Nursing Activism/Healthcare Politics" forum.
just scroll down this page.
and welcome aboard.
