    Aren't you under contract to stay at HFH for 2 years after you
  8. Instructor caused me to breakdown crying at clinical

    I'm sorry your day was rough. I totally agree with you though. My clinical instructor was very drill sergeant for my 1st clinical. She made me cry too, but I learned so so much. I would have her...

  12. Outcomes help!!!

    What about a measurable loss of weight? That could be an indicator of decrease in fluid retention. An increase in Hb and Hct... I am far from an expert. Good
  13. First Test

    Now that you have your feet wet, you'll have a better idea of how to prepare for the next one. That first test is always difficult. I know, I had mine today - but my teacher has not posted our...

  19. Need shoe help asap please

    I agree. At HFCC you just need to make sure they're white. They won't allow shox for clinicals. I can't wait to get some when I am finally a nurse. Some clinical instructors are more leniant. One...
  20. this day keeps getting better and better.

    So sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope you find your card soon. I did the exact same thing with my BLSC card. After that, I made photocopies and laminated it and gave it its own special...
