Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to order it.

Can anyone recommend a good book to learn about hemodialysis? I'm an experienced nurse, but I really don't know much about it. Thanks

Thank you! I've been looking at the sites. Very interesting and informative.

Thanks for the info! Are these indexes used by each individual school? Is it on a local school level?

Regarding being nervous about public speaking. Remember that just because you couldn't do it in the past does not mean that you can't do it now. People are capable of change. I know this because I was never able to give presentations when I was younger. But I have overcome this--it is not always super successful. Sometimes my voice still shakes. And my heart pounds every time and I look aroung for the nearest exit wanting so badly to make a run for it. But every time I go through with it, I give myself a break for not being perfect. And I'm very proud just because I tried. Just try. And however it turns out, be proud that you did it:twocents:.

I'm a nursing student trying to do some research for a school project. I have a couple of questions. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. (In addition to this questions, I'll have the opportunity to do a clinical rotation with a school nurse later in the semester). Does a community assessment in any way guide your practice? Is a school nurse's primary focus on the community, the individual, or the system? And why?
