   Wear a smile and no one will notice your hair! Patient's and nursing staff don't care so much about how you look as how you relate to them.

9. Is it normal to graduate nursing school & feel like you know nothing.

   SN4HisGlory replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in General Nursing

   I hope it is normal. I feel like that every new clinical ... I like having the instructor by me to make sure I don't forget something or don't do something to hurt a patient on accident (or on purpose). It's exciting and scary at the same time. But I...
