    what kind of watch do you wear?

    Journey_On replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's really neat that Amazon.com sells it through WatchNThings - just went and searched for it! I do like it. It's cute, and very fitting for the environment in which I wear it, of course. It is...

    what kind of watch do you wear?

    Journey_On replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Before I started clinicals, I wanted to get a watch that you can clip on to your pocket, but I ended up not getting one. I regularly wore a watch, but I didn't want that particular one to be worn for...

    Did taking Latin help you in becoming a nurse?

    Journey_On replied to sam3992's topic in General Students

    I took Latin from 6th grade to 11th grade, and I really enjoyed it. It helped me with my SATs and learning higher vocabulary in general. I thought it would be super helpful if I were to study medicine...

    USF Nursing Inquiry class

    Journey_On replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi mlee, I took this class last semester (spring 2008). It was basically a nursing research class. I took it online, and it was probably my hardest class because it required a lot of work. We had 3...

    Journey_On replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very good point. I tested positive for the antibody to Hep C in college - found out when I donated blood. I had such a low viral load (?) that they could not even detect a genotype - it only...

    Journey_On replied to Atl_John's topic in General Nursing

    If you do choose to clean your BP cuff, what kind of cleaning agent would you use to clean it? Would Clorox wipes or alcohol wipes be effective on that type of fabric? I was told that it would be a...
