  2. FCCJ E/W 4th Term Role Trans....

    hawkfdc replied to jsd42277's topic in Florida Nursing

    The Role Transformation schedule is at the whim of the instructor. Just because one does on ABC days does not mean that another instructor won't do it completely the opposite. If I were you, I would...

  3. Plantar fasciitis

    hawkfdc replied to GrnHonu08's topic in General Nursing

    I had a pair of white Merrills with aftermarket insoles. It helped. But I finally found relief from 1 prescription NSAID, took it when I went to bed, woke up the next morning and it was...

    hawkfdc replied to kjl221's topic in Florida Nursing

    hawkfdc replied to kjl221's topic in Florida Nursing

    hawkfdc replied to kjl221's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think I would buy at least one pair from Meridys, just in case you draw a hard clinical instructor. They look you over up and down and if you're different from the person next to you, you might get...

  14. Plantar Fascitis and shoe choice-MBT vs birkenstocks

    hawkfdc replied to Floridanurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't know what MBTs are, but I have PF and so does my cousin (a nurse). He turned me onto Merrills and I use them with a heavy duty insole, it has helped the PF

  21. 3rd and 4th term FCCJ RN students

    hawkfdc replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    That would be because we're tired of being in school and rarely want to talk about it outside of school. Don't ask me why, maybe I'm just in a mood
