Define excellent? I just graduated from there on 5/1/10. The instructors know their stuff. There was on one or two who I feel didn't really know their stuff--or they just didn't know how to...

I am at my wits ends with one of my clinical instructors. I don't know what else to do--or if I can do anything. Here are my complaints: She sits and socializes with other nurses during clinical...

I *almost* fainted while watching a C-section. I was fine at first, then all of a sudden, my whole body felt numb, I started sweating and the whole room started spinning. I quickly told my instructor...

In my program we were not "taught" -- it is a skill that is learned. IMO I can tell such a huge difference in my critical thinking skills from my first nursing class, to today--my last nursing class....

So, I have my very first RN interview today, at the local teaching hospital. I am SUPER nervous! :) I just can't believe I only have 58 days until graduation! Anyone else gonna be moving on the...
