Great point about FB groups. I have used this for the past 4 courses and it works well especially if everyone's schedule is different. It keeps the school topics off your regular news feed and collaboration on projects/ homework is very efficient. We have about 30 in our FB group now, but a face to face group of 30 wouldn't get very much done. Thanks for you input.

Our class are able to work in teams of two. Each of us are assigned an individual Pt, but we can help each other with any procedure we feel we need help with. As for the nasty part of the job, just grin & bear it. If smells bother you bring a small jar of Vicks vapor rub and dab a little under your nose before going in the room.

I'm interested in what works best for study groups. We're first semester students, and with 170 of us in the class there's a lot opportunity to feel out different groups. I have found small groups (no larger than 4) seem to be more productive. I've also found several groups spend more time talking about studying than actually studying. For the most part, my groups have read the material ahead of time. All of our school's exams are NCLEX style questions. This is what makes nursing groups different than previous groups, we're not just talking definitions anymore. The last group I joined we spent the entire time drilling each other with NCLEX questions, which seemed to work well. My question is what format works best? What format are your groups using?

My school requires solid leather white shoes. I tried Danskos & did not like them. As a medic I'm used to a tight laced boot, so I'm using Bates dress white oxfords. They are the same as the Navy dress white shoes and are pretty comfortable.

Good question as a student I wonder the same thing.
