   I think that happened when I was in 108. Turned out I wasn't on the instructors list. She had forgotten to check my name on her roster. If the other students have it tomorrow and you don't, be sure to check with them.

   I work 12 hr nights on the weekends. I'm sick of it all ready, so I'm in the process of changing that. I personally think that 3-11 would be okay. I'm not sure how you could do 40 hrs a week and nursing school. but part time is doable. (just my opin...

   Butterfly, Congratulations on your scholarship. I, like an idiot, left Sentara to work for an "affiliate" of Sentara, my pal time and other benefits went with me so I assumed I was eligible for CAP. After I sent in my application I was told that I i...

    So, I started hospital clinical rotation a coule of weeks ago. Kinda weird. On one hand, only being responsible for vital signs and adls is pretty cool. But not being able to utilize the assesment skills I already have (haven't been taught yet) is s...

    Mikecap, nurs 108, not to bad. I'm hearing from some of the newbies(new to the medical field) that they feel a little lost with all the terminology. Lots and lots of reading. I am struggling a bit with the lectures, notes seem be to all over the plac...

    Meriwhen, Thanks. I prefer the 2 day a week thing, but I just signed up for what was available. I'm not that pressed one way or the other. No childcare issues. There is one clinical site, I'd prefer not to attend, but I'm getting from the look on the...
