  1. Physical assessment....

    I agree with Tweety. You need to let the teacher know that your partner hasnt been able to "participate" and you need to have a different lab partner. Ive just started also, the teacher also doubles as a patient for anyone who "isnt hearing anything...

  4. Preceptorships in the NICU in Miami

    I do know of a nurse that was hired right into the NICU as a new grad. Keep in mind she has worked there for 13 yrs now. From what I understand, that is still possible. I think all new grads/new hires go thru a 3 month precept and then apply to the u...

  13. Pt refused to leave!

    At the risk of sounding ignorant: What is the pinning ceremony?? Is this in addition to a graduation ceremony where you wear a cap and gown and receive your degree? I remember someone saying that they wore a traditional nurse's cap for a ceremony onc...

    Since everyone seems to have different opinions (imagine that!), I took the liberty of pasting(sp?) my 4 semester program below. What do you think? Semester 3 will be over the summer and I have a feeling it might be a bit more stressful than the ot...
