I was in the same exact position you are in when I was trying to decide about changing my major...blood and needles made me get lightheaded even just thinking about them! The first few times I was shadowing the PCA who was going to train me to draw ...

It sounds like it went well from what you said- I have my first RN interview tomorrow afternoon for an ICU position, and I am terrified! I know all my "answers" but it's so different when you're on the spot, nervous as hell, being stared at by the p...

I HATE it when anybody calls me "sweetie," "honey," or "hun"...but I also find it sort of cold to be called by my last name (maybe this will change when I'm older...I'm 22). At the same time I try to call patients by their last name, but half the ti...
