giving report
Could someone please explain to me exactly what is a "sarcastic sense of humor"?????? Maybe I need to get out more, but personally I don't think 'sarcastic' and 'sense of humor' should be used in the same sentence especially in front of patients and relatives. There are more appropriates times for one to be sarcastically humorous and whilst receiving a handover report is not one of them.

Any advice on how to approach all of the assigned reading?
there is no "easy way out" when it comes top studying. you have to find your own rhythm and consider what your teacher state you NEED TO KNOW. before class, i would skim through the chapters, read what i feel is important. if the whole chapter seems important than read ALL of it. dont be overwhelmed, the teachers would like you to be familiar with content before class...its not like you will be given an exam on the first day!!! read a little of all your assigned readings, so on the first day the teacher does not appear like they are talking in swahili...

necessity of laptop, smartphone, etc?
in class all i need is a pen and paper...maybe the text book if the teacher in questions refers to text a lot. otherwise i normally do not bring textbook to class unless i plan to study after class. i bought a 14" laptop, coz the 17" i had was too cumbersome to carry around with me. i will upload my ebooks and will mostly use the ebooks as a quick reference. to study i know i will use the catual book...i am old fashioned like that! personally i think ipod, ipad, etc are great gadets to have not necessary but am sure i shall find my smaller laptop indespensible.

Nursing school (BSN) and work part-time?
starting BSN on the 23rd! i also plan to work...i work as a living caregiver to the elderly. i have always worked thruout my pre reqs, my social life does suffer, but i tell my friends to hang in there with me. so far they have been understanding...but it can get pretty isolative so be warned. if you the type that likes to hang out with your friends then i would suggest u resign!!! if my work does interfere with my school work i will not hesitate to resign, mind you my work is very easy. my current client is very understanding and she sleeps most of the daytime and at nite she sleeps all the way thru. so if i stay with her i think i can do it. there is wifi so i could get a lot done during my two days i spend with her... good luck!

What is priority here?
so that nurse can keep observe patient more closely since the patient is postoperative i would feel more comfortable observing these symptoms myself. when patient has been moved to the nearby room and i become thats only when i would delegate the observation to a cna.
