I would be embarrassed to even post something like that. Not trying to be disrespectful of the OP, but needing someone to show her how to do this a week before graduation? I sincerely hope she figured it out on her own.

The OP was asking for help......I am waiting for them to return, answer my questions....... so I can help them. We all don't have the same expereinces in school as others....some people just need a little more assistance and guidence.
We are here to be supportive. This is the forum where nursing students come for assistance. I always tell my children that is they have nothing nice to say to say nothing at all.
Allnurses first priority is to the members that have come here because of the flame-free atmosphere we provide. There is a zero-tolerance policy here against personal attacks. We will not tolerate anyone insulting other's opinion nor name calling.
Some of the posts have been edited.....lets stick to the subject of assisting the OP and in being polite.
