1. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   studentab replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   1. I can not stand you two. I really don't understand how you two made it past the first semester. Every day you show up and ask "what are we doing today", "I don't get this - did you do yours already?", oh and the texts in which you ask me if I wann...

2. Wet to Dry Dressing Steps

   studentab replied to silverhalide's topic in General Students

   Yes, our instructors often tell us how things are done differently in the local hospitals but tell us to do it the way we're being taught. What's done in nursing school does not = what's done in the real world.
