I would like to hear from those of you who have taken one or both of them. I am trying to decide between the in-person review class or the online review. They are both $499 so it isn't the price that can help me decide. I just don't want to sit in ...

A fantastic book about "non-compliance" is "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures" by Ann Fadiman. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I'm a big reader. It's rea...

Here in the US we have Vocational Rehabilitation which helps people with disabilities. All 50 states have them as it's a federal program. I listed New York's here so you could look at it and see if Canada has an equivalent type of service. Good lu...

Keep going up the chain of command. The fact that she didn't follow the handbook to let you know that you had been warned is key here. How could you improve something that you didn't know about? Hopefully the warning documents at your school requi...
I am starting clinical on a surgical oncology unit (step-down) and want to prepare. -Should I look read over all of my surgical/post-surgical lectures as well as oncology lectures? -Will patients be receiving traditional chemo during their stay? ...
Hi, I am a nursing student who also taught Pre-K through Adults for 10 years as certified teacher prior to entering nursing school. The above quote was said by my peds clinical instructor. She's been a nurse for many years and done lecture/cli...
