   starnurse2be replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

   Out of the 12 or so clinicals in my first semester, at least half were Cdiff or MRSA. No TB. My first pt was on Cdiff..my very first time ever in the hospital.. It was scary but you get over it. You'll be fine, promise.

    starnurse2be replied to Katen's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry. I met my nursey buddy on the first day of Nursing 101/Fundamentals and I do not know what I would do without her. Thankfully she is smarter than me (LOL) so I don't have to worry about her failing out... just me! But really, I am sorry...

12. Rant!
