   Nursestudent14 replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

   The one other tip I was going to tell you was bring multi colored pens! I know it sounds weird but I would write my report in one color and then my assessment in another. I had a third color for stuff to jump out at me as needed.

8. Where to find Accelerated BSN with good clinicals

   Nursestudent14 replied to Kisskaos's topic in General Students

   Which state are you from? Are you willing to move to other states? I think if people knew a general area they might have more suggestions.

13. Please tell me what worked for you in MED SURG?

    Nursestudent14 replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students
