   NursePru replied to hppygoluky985's topic in Maryland

2. Are BSNs grads preferred over ADNs grads in MD area?

   NursePru replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland

   I've had clinicals at Franklin Square, Good Sam, Upper Chesapeake, and Sinai. I love Good Sam! I just liked the environment in general. No bad experiences at any of them though.

4. ccbc essex???

   NursePru replied to embradsmom's topic in Maryland

   It depends on your clinical instructor. Some don't even make you go on Friday's and just give you your patients that morning and let you look up the medications. If you do have to go on Fridays it just depends on when the instructor gets there. I had...

15. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    NursePru replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I think a lot of students also ask for help from the instructors once it's too late. The same sort of thing happens at my school and the instructors stand by the fact that if we ask for help, they are more than willing, but you can't come to them aft...
