6. Arizona Mayo New Grad Program

   NursingStudent17 replied to BmaeGHSU's topic in Arizona Nursing

   Hi, I had it earlier this week. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but it was my first interview so I guess I can't complain. I'll be surprised if I get hired though....I was very nervous! Good...

8. Navy application-physical

   NursingStudent17 replied to NursingStudent17's topic in Government, Military

   Thank you all--this was very helpful! I was more worried that we were going to have to do the physical fitness test. I'm secretly worried about it even though on my own time I can do everything...

12. Hitting bone/nerve with IM injection

    NursingStudent17 replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    I hit bone working at a flu vaccine clinic last week. The girl didn't even notice. Then another girl who shouldn't have felt it at all flinched, so I think I hit a nerve on her. My instructor was...

    NursingStudent17 replied to kaliRN's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I kind of figured there would be no difference, but friends have said how great it is switching specifically to and from Apidra, you're the first person that has mentioned feeling differently. Very...

15. Uncontrolled DMI, when is patient "in trouble"
