I know with a lot of people taking online classes there is a lot of material that needs to be printed out...what is everyone using? debating on investing in a laser printer for home use due to volume but unsure what to get?

Just curious to see what track people choose? If you go full time, do you still work?

At my hospital our Ambulatory Care Dept always uses lido..I work in the E.R. and ICU and they want us to start to use it in those areas as well... The only drawback I've seen is that after you inject the lido the vein seems to disappear and then you'...

At my school the Nursing Program was seperate from the school orientation...and it was 3 days long! I didn't think they could possibly have enough stuff to talk about in 3 days...but oh yes...they did! On the last day though they started lecturing so...
