   MCNS2B replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

   MCNS2B replied to MCNS2B's topic in General Nursing

   It is my first semester of my Alternate Entry Master's program. It is our first time in the hospital and me and my classmates have come across a variety of nurses who we have shadowed. I know each nurse does their own thing and has their own system,...

   MCNS2B replied to MCNS2B's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your advice. I think on my last day I'll give her a note. We'll be there for a few more weeks and when it's up, I'll give her one. Its really unfortunate that some nursing students aren't really nice to the CNA's... it makes me really ang...

   MCNS2B replied to aeb564's topic in Pre-Nursing

    MCNS2B replied to aeb564's topic in Pre-Nursing

    yeah, Tulane's bookstore was ridiculous so I assumed most other school's were as well. My boyfriend, who is at UT for his MBA, confirmed that for me by taking me on a tour of the co-op. Amazon and Half.com were pretty reasonable (in regards to textbo...

    Thanks so much for your responses! I think the Sprauge is what they are talking about, hopefully I'll know for sure... Maybe I'll have my mom hold off on getting me one until I want a fancy one if the Sprauge is only $15 :-)
