  1. Best NC town/hospital in your opinion and why?

    Rocky Mount is quite boring... my husband's family lives there and wanted us to move there... NO WAY! Although it would be easy for you to find work there, the job market is quite challenging for those in other careers. We live in the triad. There ar...

  10. Stethoscope of choice

    I have a Littmann Classic II S.E. It works well. Which ever kind you get, make sure you put a name tag on it, or else it'll be snatched up (I know this from personal experience!)
  11. Paula, Let me tell you that I graduated from nursing school this past May, and I was just like you, very shy and unsure. Believe me, by the time you get to your last clinical, you will feel much more comfortable. Most patients enjoy having two nurses...
