    If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    itsnowornever replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    If you know how you learn then you should look up videos and make believe at home. Yes, they are there to teach but it is also on you to give yourself a base. For instructors to teach and demonstrate...

    Offered job shadowing after interview...what does that mean?

    itsnowornever replied to army mommy of three's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd also add, that if you do have a "down" minute, ask a nurse or two if they have vitals they want done or some other such thing (dont ask, "Is there anything I can do for you"....ask for something...
