    np_wannabe replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Do you prefer 12 hour or 8 hour shifts?

    np_wannabe replied to Scrubz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi RNSacht! I have considered the 3 to 11 shift, because you have so much of your day, and don't get home in the middle of the night (I go to sleep late)...but wondered what other people thought of...

    np_wannabe replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much akspudus! I actually nail the gram stain every time--it's my favorite, but for some reason, I got distracted and thought I was using iodine (which you leave on for one minute), and...

  14. Microbiology Spring 2007

    np_wannabe replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We just inoculated our cultures today, and I'm worried about my gram stain. I left the ethanol on for about 30 seconds, instead of about 5. I keep reading places that say you can't leave it on too...

  19. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

    np_wannabe replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida Nursing

    I can't help but ask how good you think your chances are of getting into FCCJ....after you re-take the NET (or whatever they are using now), will you have at least 180 points? If so, your chances of...

    np_wannabe replied to kamij's topic in Florida Nursing
