    OsceanSN2018 replied to swacho's topic in General Students

  16. Nurses don't do their 3 med checks?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, thank you. I'm obviously still learning and I did not know this would be considered 3 checks. And you're right, I did think that she had to read the labels at the pyxis. Also, this is why I like...

    OsceanSN2018 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Bojana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is not true at all. I think it's normal to struggle in your hard sciences because they are usually the weed out classes and are never meant to be easy. Although, it is good that you made a B or...
