   hcnursesoon replied to Nurse K-Bear's topic in General Students

   We have the most awful gray smocks!! I hate them, They go over our all white uniforms and are trimmed with our school colors. We wear our school badge on the sleeve and all white leather shoes. The smocks are terrible... DEATH TO THE SMOCKS!!!

4. Nursing school diary (journal)

   hcnursesoon replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   We were required to keep one last semester as part of the psyche content---This year it is more of a clinical journal(also required). As far as a journal for myself, I don't even have time to sleep, much less write in a journal.

5. Microbiology

   hcnursesoon replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

   My teacher was from India. He was really smart, but we southern students couldn't understand him at all. It was hilarious translating. We didn't do many labs though. I was disappointed. But I did get an A.

6. on CPR

   hcnursesoon replied to pjs40's topic in General Students

   In MS you have to be AHA CPR certified before you can be responsible for a patient in a hospital...even if you are a student--We all had to have it. BLS for Healthcare Providers, was the name I believe.

   hcnursesoon replied to nicoleinphilly's topic in General Students

   I suggest working one of those NCLEX review cd-roms on your pc. I did that about two weeks before and so far I don't seem too lost. I also recommend reviewing all of your fluids and lytes. It's not so bad. I just started back and in no time you feel ...
