  1. How long did it take?

    NewmanFamily6 replied to Destination1's topic in General Nursing

  7. What do you think of ATI testing?

    NewmanFamily6 replied to shellpsychrn's topic in General Students

    NewmanFamily6 replied to NewmanFamily6's topic in General Students

  18. Vent, No instruction, little long

    NewmanFamily6 replied to CRIMSON's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming CP=clinical procedure? If so we definitely had to teach ourselves. We had to watch videos and read the procedures. Then we had to practice them until check offs. This included Foley...

  19. Midterm clinical eval.

    NewmanFamily6 replied to fabiusgile's topic in General Students

    NewmanFamily6 replied to thatsforreal's topic in General Students

    NewmanFamily6 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students
