No, I don't ever. I'd rather see upfront what kind of person/nurse they are than see a facade. Also, nurses specialize and other nurses forget this. They seem to think you know everything about their area. I'm like, hi, our jobs are very differen...
I am looking for a good PDA myself. You can but drugs in there for quick look up when pulling meds. Also, it might help for scheduling your time or keeping notes, and people's phone numbers. As far as clinicals we were assigned our hospital. You ...
I am a bitter old man and I still found people to hang out with and work together to get through school. You will be fine. Even though nursing school is hard try to enjoy it. You will miss certain things about it after you graduate.

I just bought that one a couple of days ago. I can't wait to wear it to work. I was able to fit everything in there. Does your stethoscope fit in there well?

Thanks, that is bad. One thing we have to worry about now though, is anyone can go on the BON website before you do and find out if you passed or failed. Either way the wait was driving me crazy.
I use to buy sixbucks and then one day I realized, why am I paying this much for coffee. I was looking for 5 hour energy but could only find a knock off called 6 hour power. It worked pretty good.

That's a good plan. It was a pain in the butt because most feel they failed after they take it and then you have to keep telling everyone... I don't know my results yet. lol then 5 mins later... No, I still don't know. Then, you know everyone is...
All I know is a girl I went to school with passed out once while doing I think a blood draw. She graduated and is now an RN. There are jobs where you don't necessarily have to work around blood.
