I believe we are in the same class from previous conversations we have had on this site before? (Nellie is obviously not my real name..LOL) I was overwhelmed last week also, but not one person will tell us that nursing school is easy. My friend just ...
I would come up with another mistake to use in an interview, one that doesn't include a med error or involve a patient's well-being. That's an odd question to be asked though. Hopefully it won't come up again.
Have you joined a study group? If not, start one! Meet on campus and study. If you get a serious group of people who really want to learn, it's fantastic! Also, try teaching the material to someone else. I spent hours "teaching" the bones to my littl...

Your second, less wordy, version is much better. My only suggestion is that it's missing some "sparkle" words. Example: Medication administration, wound care, various catheter cares, assessments I'd say: Performed medication administration, wound ca...
I start clinicals this semester, and out of everything I need to do to prepare, you'd think picking a watch wouldn't be a big deal. But it is. I never wear a watch and don't own one. What kind should I get? The only requirement from my school is tha...
