   11P-7A 56 patients with 1 nurse and 4 CNA's! And being in charge means to do staffing for the day shift which means taking the call offs and calling 20 people to try and replace them, while trying to pass meds for the 56 people!

10. Small nose piercings at work?

    JenMSN11 replied to SarahAnn10's topic in General Nursing

    Most rules say to not wear them but I have seen many nurses with them and I barely notice them because they look like a speck of glitter. I would not wear them in clinical school situations but it should be ok for jobs so long as it is very tiny.

    JenMSN11 replied to jjhutman's topic in Student Assist

    Exactly how do you study? Alone in groups, reading, writing, etc. Maybe you need to add different techniques. I myself learned more by writing. Some learn more by listening so they taped lectures to listen to them later.
