   whattodo4 replied to seasalt1023's topic in Patient Medications

   watching IM shots in the hospital whilst in clinical- I have never seen aspiration, yet when we do labs at school we have to aspirate. Thus for the school I will aspirate but in practice I wont,...

15. The "I will never get there" feeling

    whattodo4 replied to WNTfanM9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good that all the prereqs are done-that is one less thing to worry about. I would recommend that if you do not get in and if you can afford the time and money- look into being a CNA, PCT or some sort...
