Jo-Jo trust me I was as scared as you are when I first started. They will tell you right off the bat that it is impossible to work fulltime and be in nursing school. This is a load of hogwash. I have...
Mrs. Routh always say to "dig deeper". I think it is one of her favorite things to say! Of course, you should really try to go deeper if she asks you too! I just have class one day a week on Mondays....
Congrats on finishing your first week of clinicals! I remember when i started how excited I was to actually get in there and practice everything that I had learned. I still remember how shaky my hands...
Oh, to answer your other question. This semester is not to bad. We just have lecture one day a week and I have already finished the bulk of my clinicals. Trust me once you get through the first two...
Wow! you guys will sure be busy! As far as the major care plan, don't even sweat it. It is about 75 percent health history and assesment data (which takes like 20 minutes). The time consuming part is...
You are exactly right Toni! I will never forget how nervous I was giving meds for the first time. Now, it's second nature to me! So when do you guys start
Congrats everyone on almost being done with Foundations! Keep up you momentum and you will do great. I am so excited for you guys to get to go to clinical. It is soooooo much fun. Of course, there is...
That is so funny that she remembers that. Was it about the evils of trans fat?!!!! She always thought it was so funny when I would get on my pedistal and preach about that stuff. Ahh memories. I am so...
Baylor Speciality eh? That is a new one. We got to go to Medical Center Plano, Baylor Irving, and St. Paul for first semester. The only time we went to Richardson Regional was for psych. This semester...

Dude, I did exactly the same thing. I went full time as a music major for two years and then took a year and a half off. I started working in nursing as a tech and have been going to nursing school...
Awww heck ya! I am pretty much dead set on working in Peds. I have always loved children and consider it one of my talents. Not everyone has the ability to speak to a child in terms that he/she can...
At the hospital where I work, our infection control director presented a very powerful obit of a man who actually died from a hospital aquired infection. This really hit home for all of us, the...
I have worked with many CCCD nursing students at the hospital I work at (Baylor Plano). I can tell you that they are a cut above the rest. They really make exceptional nurses. I have not had a bad...
