   Coruscatedgirl replied to kristy2657's topic in General Students

   I love the idea of having a "do-it-yourself" ceremony and banquet. I am thinking way ahead, but if my school doesn't put one on, I think it would be a wonderful idea to invite everyone to a restaurant, buy some sort of commemorative pin, and say the...

9. For those of you who were waitressing while in nursing school, could use advice!

   Coruscatedgirl replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

   They might allow you to use paper napkins, but then again, they are expensive. DO NOT bring a dishtowel from home! That would be against health dept rules. Perhaps they have some cloth napkins? I've seen servers carry out plates using those, but ...

10. NEED HELP WITH WIFE

    Coruscatedgirl replied to milan18400's topic in Male Students

    Sorry, the title caught my eye, I have to respond, but I will warn you, I'm a woman. Your wife is feeling insecure because of the baby, in my opinion. Her hormones haven't settled down yet from pregnancy and childbirth. All you can do is reassure ...

    Hi Peggy, Congrats on starting NS next week! From what I have been told, the first class of nurses from ITT will graduate in Dec, so how can they have a low success rate? I think whoever told you that at the hospital you work at, must be ill-inform...
