  1. nurses who don't want students

    Not every nurse likes to teach. I hate being a preceptor and having students. Probably because of my get in there and get it done attitude. I just prefer to do things myself. Talk to your instructor, I can't see why it would be a big deal to swi...
  2. If nursing caps looked decent, would you wear one?

    not in a million years. NEVER!!! I don't need a hat to make me feel like a nurse. I have a degree, license, and name badge that all say I am and that is good enough for me! Kris

  10. OR experience for students?

    i graduated with my LPN 2 years ago and I got to watch in the OR. I was lucky enough to get to see a open heart. No grief from anyone about being there. we did get grief when we went to the cath lab because the nurses there felt it was a waste of...
