    Are textbooks this expensive????

    SHGR replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My physical assessment class books alone cost more than that. Add more if you need an otoscope/ophthalmoscope set. Keep in mind that the books you purchase will be your reference books for your...

    SHGR replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Be careful what you wish for, TammyG! A lot of my classmates would love it if the preceptors were all lined up for us. In our area, it is very competitive to find a site because there are so many...

    Question about the Nursing Sphere

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    True, true. It does ultimately come down to the professor's ok and what I can realistically be allowed to do- I also wonder about the "in general" answer. The MA's report to the head nurse where I...

    Clinical rotation report from 1920s

    SHGR replied to Emergent's topic in General Students

    The language used in that book's treatise of enemata is so formal, so very different than writing today. I just love it. I had no idea that the plural of enema is not enemas (which makes total...

    GRE HELP ! What to study?

    SHGR replied to TraumaRN21's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I crammed for about a week: trig/geometry formulae and vocabulary, mostly. I did very well in those areas. The essay portion, not so much- you have to present a structured, logical argument. Most...

    SHGR posted a topic in Case Management

    October 13-19 is officially Case Management Week. Are you doing anything special? My manager bought me lunch. I just think it's neat to have our own week. There is a pin that I wanted to get to...

    SHGR replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ha, the terrible one that I worked at was run by a Catholic organization, and their website was all about how they shared Christ's love etc etc etc. It was such a line of baloney, because that place...

    How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    SHGR replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This would be easier to understand if all the nursing students were paying their own hard-earned money to attend nursing school, but that isn't the case. Why people are still getting loans and grants...
