Well, if they knew it upfront, then they can't be really upset! So just tell them that you didn't expect to get into a program this soon! And tell them that you are really exited for this opportunity to pursue your dream of being an RN and deliverin...

Another thing you can do is try to get some clerk position at the hospital just to see how things are run form the inside, and find a volunteer position at a hospital or LTC facility. Also google like the 50 or 100 most used drugs and start to famili...

Well instead of just standing around ask if you're allowed to look up drugs for the different conditions patients on your floor have, bring your drug book to clinical and MAKE DRUG CARDS!!! Familiarize yourself with all kinds of forms... ask if you'r...
