  1. Any nursing students out there work at hospital while in school, studying at work?

    ADPIE10 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I would be experiencing an ethical dilemma if I had to make the same decision as you're making. I've been a computer operator in the past and during backup operations, my supervisor encouraged me to...

    ADPIE10 replied to Plagueis's topic in General Students

    ADPIE10 replied to jturpin4's topic in General Students

    You are correct. I wore shorts. :-) And still... as students, we were still very uneasy about everyone watching the bed bath. It's easier when there is an actual patient with a purpose in receiving...

    ADPIE10 replied to jturpin4's topic in General Students

  9. Are the waiting lists really 2 years long in Northern California?

    ADPIE10 replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    ADPIE10 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that I can completely agree with that. This implies that those of us with B.S. degrees that get ADNs are placed in a different category than other ADNs? What do you propose calling

  15. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    ADPIE10 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    You sound very knowledgeable. From what sources of scholarly papers or research studies do you base your opinion? My understanding with regard to the preference is one based upon a hospital's desire...

  16. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    ADPIE10 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing
