    oshields07 replied to pixiegalsmom's topic in Alabama Nursing

    That's why it's optional. That includes the dress, cap, pin, lamp, and pics (which I'm not doing). I wasn't going to do it at first, but my family has been pushing me to do it and I feel that if I...

    oshields07 posted a topic in General Students

    For my preceptorship, I requested maternity, since I haven't received a fair amount of time on that unit when I did my clinicals (I worked well baby nursery w/ no babies). I received my preceptorship...

    oshields07 replied to oshields07's topic in General Students

    Are u at the Bessemer or Bham campus? I'm in my last semester and they told me the same. There is a place on Bess Super Hwy called N&N. I might try there closer to the ceremony and see if they...
