  7. Why white shoes?

    The program I just graduated from required full leather shoes, either black or white. When asked why, we were told that fluids or a dropped needle could "penetrate" a shoe with mesh. I suppose this...

  14. 6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    The only nursing related thing I learned this week is that my transcript has still not been received by the BON. And I am so frustrated I can't even express it in words! It's been a month since...
  15. Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    Worst: one instructor called me out, in front of our entire class, for needing medication. Something along the lines of "If you can't pay attention in here, you're not fit to be in the floor" Same...
  16. 6/4 WILTW: Oui jete' du Nursing???

  23. Things You'd Like to Say to Fellow Students...

    I'd love to yell "SHUT UP". The side conversations are really distracting. I'm not stupid, stop treating me like I am. Stop arguing over question answers. If it's really bugging you, go see the...
  24. Fingers crossed for you! I'm currently putting in applications and waiting for my background check to clear for
  25. Someone in my charts....
