4. getting sick from microbiology

   FuturePsychNP replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

   Undergrad micro is totally safe. I took it around 12 years ago, and the worst thing about it was the smell, lol. I wouldn't stick your fingers in the colonies and rub your eye, mouth, nose, open...

5. Cardiac, neuro, or renal?

   FuturePsychNP replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

   Renal is a lot more complex than most people think, but it's interesting so I believe it's "learnable." Cardiac is just fun. It's not really difficult, and most people seem to be interested in it....

   FuturePsychNP replied to Cheripk's topic in General Students

14. Giving Report

    FuturePsychNP replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't at all like the phrase "giving report." I refer to it as "briefing" since we're briefing the oncoming shift for their duties. At my employer, we brief everyone on the unit's oncoming shift...

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
