    What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    DolceVita replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Very interesting. I am at a tech college and one of our instructors also works at the state U's School of Nursing. She said that faculty at the U referred to their students as the best of the best....

    DolceVita replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    DolceVita replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Not just what I have learned persoanlly but what I have observed others doing/learning. Get your reading done before class. Get your assignments completed before they are due (stuff happens and if...

    DolceVita replied to blue cna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hmmm don't think my posts are invalid I just think you are not in a place to be receptive to anything other than someone agreeing and commiserating with you. So it would seem my efforts went...

    Any guys color blind? (Girls are welcome too!)

    DolceVita replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    iTouch or Old School?

    DolceVita replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use both but more often the ITouch. Be careful about services for your ITouch. A drug "book" available on it will only be available for about a year. Same with Taber's & RN Notes (which is...

    Are there any acceptable absences?

    DolceVita replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    I think that is why my program doesn't state that you can miss any days. OMG we have clinical 2-3 times every week every semester. I am a bit jealous but then again I like clinicals a

    Tips For New CNA

    DolceVita replied to leaharagon's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Geez I hope you aren't sorry you asked.... I would not wear your scrubs to hand in applications. I would wear something that is business-like, minimum make-up, conservative shoes, no skirts above the...

    Are there any acceptable absences?

    DolceVita replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    My school itself does not say that you can have any days off without consequences. I suspect if there were "allowed" absences they would be used -- if you know what I mean. No one in my program...

    Are there any acceptable absences?

    DolceVita replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    Wait to see if you get accepted. Then deal with the two days. It will depend on the school but sometimes on the individual instructor. Two instructors at my school actually had students into the...

    DolceVita replied to Jokenomore40's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't normally suggest a medical intervention but if it is that bad, in the short term, you could discuss a medication with your doctor. However, in the long term you need to get strategies to deal...

    facebook and nursing school?

    DolceVita replied to newmomspn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We use use it. We don't tend to make all of our information available to each other. A coupe of people are daft and every picture seems to be them with booze in hand. It has been handy for quick...
