Kim - I have to agree with you .... living in Western NC is great and the people are real down home and friendly. Good luck with your clinicals on Thursday and Friday. As far as IV starts .... for me, the best advice I could give is make sure you have good lighting and remember to take your time. Have confidence in yourself! With IV's .... I am either great or bad, depending on the day! There are days when I can't miss a vien and then there are days when I just can't get them .... not sure why that is, but I hear the same thing from other nurses. Anyway .... good luck and please remember to post and tell us how you did. Patrick PS - it is down right COLD here today!

Hi FNP grrl ... thanks for the welcome. I am working toward my NP and will get it done one day. Sometimes it seems like such a long draw out commitment, but I know in the end, it will be great. Currently I am attending UoP for my BSN and MSN. Once that is completed, I plan to do my post graduate work at WCU. Thanks again for the welcome and look forward to chatting with you on this board.

Hi Kim .... nice to have you on the forum. I am also new to this forum and find it great reading. I looked into WCU for my BSN and it looked like a great program. I needed a little more flexibility with my time and opted to go online for the BSN. Good luck with your program and with boards once you graduate.
