7. How many classmates have you lost?

   tigereyeskp replied to GeauxNursing's topic in General Students

   After the second semester of our ADN program, we lost between 10 and 15 people. And in my experience, there seem to be some book smart nursing students who do really well on theory tests but who are just god-awful on the floor during clinicals. Th...

    Ok, I'm a second semester RN student up to my eyeballs in med/surg right now, and let me just say this. Med/Surg is a whole other ballgame. It's disease process. You have to know the disease process before you can even begin to answer questions o...
