I get a lot of student nurses every semester that I have the pleasure of precepting or clinical coaching. That being said, it always surprises me when students come up to me with all these questions...most of them being "they told us to do it this way, why are you doing it THAT way" or "this is how they described this type of patient to us in school". So, I would like to know, what are some things you wish you knew, were taught or prepared for, had access to, or needed during nursing school that would help you now or would have helped you (whether it be Nursing School catered Journals, flash cards, more quizzes or nursing mentors throughout the program etc.) Just anything. I see a lot of students giving up and becoming frustrated and I just want to know the reason behind it so maybe we can try to remedy it. Thanks, Here to help Courtney L., MSN, CCRN
