  1. First Day Back In Clinicals

    shoegalRN replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, I would LOVE to work with you! LOL! I would ask the nurses before hand if they would mind me doing it after I've done all my other duties. Most of the nurses I work with don't mind at all. In...

  2. First Day Back In Clinicals

    shoegalRN replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    While in clinicals, we also chart our own assessments. But I will do that in the future. Since it's our first day back, I will make sure to keep this in mind for next

    shoegalRN replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Nursing

  8. Nursing School = Divorce???

    shoegalRN replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know a couple of people in my program who are going through a divorce. I think it could have been that the marriage was already sinking prior to nursing school and nursing school just was the excuse...

  9. This is going to be my mantra for nursing school!

    shoegalRN replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Students

    I agree with you! That's what people DON'T get. You can't just fail one nursing class and think you can pick it back up next semester. You fail one class, it sets you back an entire year. You fail...

    shoegalRN replied to brewerpaul's topic in Operating Room

    My license plate for my Mustang reads: RN2B Once I graduate in May 2009, I will change it to whatever field I go into. I'm hoping the OR. So it will read: OR

    shoegalRN replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I understand your vent, I respectfully disagree. Prior to entering nursing school, that's all I heard is how hard it was. I know I'm a hard worker, I'm a go getter, and I didnt care how hard it...

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