   Hi Everyone, This week, I'll do my first "three 12s in a row," and wonder if anyone has advice for getting good sleep during the day. I drive about 45-minutes to an hour to work, so sometimes it is a bit daunting. Sleeping during the day is my big is...

3. ? about giving shots

   AliceanRN2B replied to adnstudentnurse's topic in Student Assist

   I can totally relate, and am still nervous about some injections, and causing harm/pain, especially IMs. It sounds like you are going out into the "real world," to give Flu shots. I was a nervous wreck myself. Don't forget to ask if they are allergi...

   AliceanRN2B posted a topic in New Nurse

    My 2004 graduating class is thinking of getting a class ring, in addition to our pin--something we can wear daily while we bask in our achievements and all . Just curious if anyone out there has a class ring for their nursing class, websites, pics, e...

15. How is 50 grams of carb doable?
