   Hi...No,it's not you. This is going on in my area also. Here's what I experienced: I had 2 interviews both of which I went back for second interviews,and an additional "job shadow" type experience. I took an entire 8 hour day for one experience,and 2...

    Please don't misunderstand me...not being aware of the dx is not acceptable. On the first day of the clinical with a new patient, I didn't always know what to expect,but I certainly made sure I knew more by the the time I returned on day two. The abi...

11. What do you want to tell Nursing Students?

    ranna&nessas mom replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I didn't really address what I would tell students in my last post. Here goes: Take the initiative regardless the staff nurses' attitude and ask what they'd like you to do. Take every opportunity to do anything and everything.I always hated t...
