3. How much sleep do you get?

   subec replied to Mithrah's topic in General Students

   Sleep? What's that? Honestly, I'm lucky if I get 5 hours. I would prefer 8 or 9, but that just doesn't seem to happen---especially this semester.

7. Stethoscopes

   subec replied to Sunnie's topic in General Students

   Well, I guess I'm in the minority here. I have a Littman Classic II S.E., and I LOVE it. I have tried others, and I can't hear nearly as well through them. I guess it is just what works best for you.

   We use Baylor Irving as a clinical site for my program (I'm at UTA). I've only heard good things about this hospital. I volunteered in the ICU before I started nursing school, and the nurses were great to me. I don't know anything about the other ...

14. Med Surg/Psych??

    subec replied to ksrn2004's topic in General Students

    I agree with TooterIA----I would take psych first. We take them together, but the clinical rotations are split within the semester. I had my psych clinical first, and the communcation skills that we learned have been invaluable for med-surg clinical...
