  2. Q's (Vitals,TF meds, "quick" head to toe)

    JBGC4 replied to glovedgoddess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Tube feedings: We've been told YES, give meds together when they are compatable. The rationale is that they all end up in the stomach together. Is your question based on the fact that you are giving...

  3. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    JBGC4 replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    The students in my program find errors on test all the time. The instructors rarely re-write the tests, so when given to us in 2010, some things (although not many) have changed. There is always a...

  9. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    JBGC4 replied to summersent's topic in General Students

  11. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    JBGC4 replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    JBGC4 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I would have stopped myself. If you're CPR certified, you have something to offer. It's amazing how many people are not certified, or do not keep up on certification. Just remember as a SN, you...
