  1. Evidence based practice...PICO question

    maccheese replied to gfoster6993's topic in General Students

    I am confused, if you're supposed to just come up with a question, why does it matter if there is going to be research to back it up. As far as my understanding of PICO, its a process to address a...

    maccheese replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in General Students

    From what I read, this post is not about the amount of work and being pushed to be the best you can be. No, this post is about the attitudes of some of the instructors. Yeah, I failed a vital signs...

    Try care.com to see if you can find a babysitter that can help. Also, see if anyone in your area is open to a nanny share. The main key to your success at this point is making sure you have childcare....

  17. Nursing School and Working Full-Time?
