You are reading page 2 of First Semester: Lessons learned... by nlitened
Some things I have learned my first semester of nursing school...
-The material in the ATI book is always slightly off from the material in the Fundamentals book...and this makes studying very difficult and confusing
-It's totally fine to challenge an answer on an exam...just be sure to have your book to back you up
-Each instructor does things differently...so know what each of them expects and how they want things done (this will make check offs so much easier)
-Professors are not always right and may even contradict the textbook...but never challenge them, what they say goes
-When feeding a resident during clinical you WILL get sneezed/coughed on and end up covered in pureed omelet
-Your classmates can be a great source of inspiration and enthusiastic cheerleaders
I am loving every minute of nursing school, and just thought I'd share.
What are some things you have learned this semester???

I agree it needs to be clarified..but also most instructors in my program are horrible about those inquiries and many of them will be rude from that point on. It makes no sense. Not impressed with nursing school.
