When I was in high school I used to pray for snow days. Now everytime it snows and there is no school we have to make it up:rolleyes: So far we've got two days to make up but it looks like it's going...
I took the social work statistics class. It fulfilled the requirements and didn't have much math in it at all. If you have a choice, I would go with that (unless you really like
snlisa, I'm also in Dover and go to clinicals in Christiana. However, our clinicals are on Thurs and Fri so we don't have to miss any of them. They just announced that most of the public schools...
I am a nurse extern and it is nothing more than a title. We do CNA work and, when a nurse feels like it, we can assist with dressing procedures etc. This title is not put on our name tags but CNA is...

Well, after almost three feet of snow and $30 for plowing later, I can get out of my driveway! You never know how much you like freedom until you can't get anywhere. Still don't know if our school...
Like Kardut, I started my "college experience" (quite) a few years ago. Did the partying thing (among other things) and am now back in school. I am there to learn now but, when I was "younger", I...

While I see many good points, I also see an opportunity for some improvements that will not only help the students but the nurses that are preceptors also. Perhaps, as a group, the nurses could...
The nervousness that you are feeling is a great one! That means that you are actually going to go and start practicing what you have spent 1000s of hours studying. Have fun with it! You will meet...
I posted this under pinning ceremonies also, but thought, since it was a tradition that some might like to read this. I found this at a website (http://www.civilization.ca/hist/infirm/inban01e.html)...
I have seen both ends of the spectrum. The nurses who love nursing and allow me to help with their duties. I have also come face to face with the ones that are unhappy and cranky....seems like they...

We had one guy in our class. He was a wonderful person and a good student. He never had any problems being the only one. Unfortunately, this past weekend, he was called to active duy. But God...
