I started NS this Fall. After reading several reviews, I went with a CD-27 by GRX Medical. My professors love it - they are constantly borrowing it and have compared it to their Littman Master...
Everyone in my program tends to discuss grades - almost a topic of bonding. I really do not mind sharing my grades, but it seems I get rude remarks when I make good. I tend to average on the upper end...
My only fear would be that this "venting session" could get out of hand and classmates could start naming professors, etc. Then, you may be associated with the rumors/talk that gets back to
We have not started clinicals yet, so I wander how I will react. Your story about the prisoner cracks me up...I used to work at a prison and I have a fear of walking in and seeing an inmate that was...

I read my textbooks and use them as references. Our powerpoints reinforce the textbook. Our instructors also add additional info (real world scenarios, etc.) Our instructors give us partially...
We did check-offs this week also. My own lab partner friendly quizzed me in front of the instructor as I was bathing, bed-making, performing ROM, and positioning her. It really didn't bother me...
I had a friend that did her pre-reqs through Devry. They were accepted by the community college in which she was enrolling for her ADN; however, the university she went to for BSN made her retake all...
I get nervous, but I think I am pretty good at masking it. Our checkoffs are done with our 3 regular instructors, and while they are very professional, they are also very real and down to earth! This...
Our instructor gave us the revised answers from the publisher. It should be available through the Evolve website also. I actually like this book - maybe I am
