    What kind of Backpack?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to reidesert's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Before dropping a lot of money on something I would go to your first class. I can tell you that most of "us" don't bring our books. The instructors are dealing with the power points and the books...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to niali's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Our school asks for all health issues to be documented in the nurse's office. I wasn't diagnosed until after school started. My neuro told me it was up to me if I wanted them to know. I decided to...

    Recapping needles

    IrishIzCPNP replied to heather318's topic in General Students

    We recap if we pull up a med that is done by injection. I am certainly not about to draw it up and leave it uncapped until I get into the room to give it. We never recap

    IrishIzCPNP replied to peacelovestar's topic in General Students
