    Yup, I am definitely an "over thinker!" I am very anal and did very well in school but am now panicking that there is just too much info. I guess I just need to step back and focus on basic care....

  15. "New" seizure precautions???

    ro2878 replied to AJPV's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with you but someone in our Kaplan class brought this up. Our Kaplan instructor still told us to go with the mattress since Barbara Irwin (the director of Kaplan) "spends all day long doing...

  21. 2nd career new grad - do you include "non nurse" experience?

    ro2878 replied to ro2878's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  22. Oh how can I pass when 3 out of 4 answers seem correct

    ro2878 replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    ro2878 replied to nursingstudent85's topic in General Students

    I've never seen an instructor allow anyone to change clinical sites unless another student was willing to switch. The hospitals only allow a certain number of students per floor so once the number is...
