  1. Anyone in a school where there are literally 3 students per instructor?

    CecileSF replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

  2. Another reason to take clinicals and preceptorships seriously

    CecileSF replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Students

  3. ATI anyone?

    CecileSF replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Our school has phased out ATI in favor of Kaplan. However, in my opinion the ATI books are a lot more useful than kaplan. Everything for kaplan is online, I prefer to have ATI books. The only problem...

  9. undeserved promotion?

    CecileSF replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    As an RN, I think you are more qualified. You will have more knowledge than the MA will ever have. I'm not saying the MA is not good at what she does. But you hold a lot more responsibilities as an RN...

  10. First Night alone

    CecileSF replied to Nurse Amy Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about this situation. If you didn't do it. Just deny it. It is very trivial. BUT, being the person I am, I would probably react the same way as you. Kind of freak out a little. I've had...

    CecileSF replied to CecileSF's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize some patients had no idea they had the ability to change doctors, I thought it was common knowledge. Next time I'll let the patients decide but also give them...

  16. First day of clinicals .. does this get easier?

  18. First med error

    CecileSF replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing
