  9. Midlands Technical College Nursing Student

    I had Murray for 101, and I actually really liked her. She has a no-nonsense way about her, but underneath it all you can see a really good, dry sense of humor. She is willing to help if you ask - you...

  19. Hey everyone! Quick question: how long does it usually take you to do a general head to toe assessment in a long term care type setting? I'm finishing up my first semester of clinicals...
  20. wow okay.... that's good to know. We are being taught that we have to listen for bowel sounds regardless but maybe that's just because they want us to get the hang of the head to toe process instead...
  21. I always would skim the chapters before attending class because if you don't you may fall behind in lecture trying to figure out what subject is being talked about much less understanding the complex...
