   UCFpinoSN replied to LaceyRN's topic in General Students

2. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

   UCFpinoSN replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Students

   Hey guys, I had my first week in L&D and it wasn't as bad as I thought. In fact I got to see some very interesting things, got to sit in on a cesarean section and a tubal ligation as well as hang out with the CRNA for a majority of the day (which...

3. Chose Nursing as a career

   UCFpinoSN replied to Hanging Garden's topic in Male Students

   UCFpinoSN replied to paulaking1978's topic in General Students

   PDA's aren't required at my school, but when I needed a new phone I decided to get the Palm Treo 650. I figured why have 2 things in my pocket when I can have just one. It works great as a reference, I have epocrates and a host of other programs from...
