   chilibean replied to korysmom's topic in General Students

   If you are having trouble finding the book used I would suggest buying the packaged set new at the bookstore. I will be starting my second semester in the nursing program at SBVC and I can't even count how many times I had to refer back to my A&P...

7. Wound care w/o gloves

   chilibean replied to teeniebert's topic in General Students

   When I would change dressings during clinicals we had to use sterile techniques. I think I had to change my gloves two or three times. I had to have on sterile gloves when applying a new dressing once I had cleaned the wound. So I'm sure this nurse w...

8. What is a good study snack?

   chilibean replied to Simpleplan's topic in General Students

   My favorite snack while studying is cold red grapes and a green tea from starbucks. The best thing about starbucks is when you study there the refills are only $0.50.

   chilibean replied to Leomom's topic in General Students

   Strap on your seatbelt, get your checkbook & credit card ready, and get ready for the ride. Before classes even started I paid a little over $1500 in books, tuition, supplies, and God knows what else. Thankfully you qualify for financial aid. ...
