I have been reading this thread over the past weeks because I've been waiting, too, I'm writing under my wife's user name now. just wanted to say not to give up hope! I got a call today for the SF cohort! apparently they had my OLD cell phone number ...
I think you have a good base, and I think that by the time you actually become a nurse you will have a great base! I believe that as people in recovery, we have insight into some things that normies don't. I work in the ED. yesterday I had a patient ...
I think most nursing school clinicals are similar, we had 2 semesters of med-surg, psych, OB, pediatrics, public health, and our final semester. I don't know if any school that would have a standard ER rotation, you may request that for your final pr...
