9. How much do you read and or study?

   oneofHIs replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in General Students

   The people in my study group call me Queen nerd because I do study so much. Yet, they all want to study with me. So far, first semester, my instructors have gone pretty much by the syllabus. I read what is outlined, highlight in class what they menti...

    oneofHIs replied to oneofHIs's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Advice taken. Although as a CNA I had helped this same wound nurse several times do these wound VAC's. The ER doc's had originally thought the incidenced were connected, but as I passed out on the way home with no wound VAC in sight, they dec...

    oneofHIs replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet) and I haven't witnessed a "code" but I have helped with postmortem care as a CNA. My first time was in clinical, our instructor came and gathered about 6 of us to watch postmortem care. I had never seen a dead body except in a c...

    Does anyone else have a first day story like this? My first day of clinical, I was standing at the end of a Pt's bed, watching a wound VAC procedure, and I passed out cold. The student next to me caught me so I didn't hit the floor, but they weren't ...

    I think I'm getting a PDA for Christmas from my husband. I'm starting my second semester and so many people have them. I don't know what to do with it or what I need to have on it. I'm not even sure I know how to use it? Any suggestions?
