    Nicolanz replied to ArmyTwin's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm a student but I did half of my clinicals at Kindred and the other half in med-surg at an acute care hospital. I don't have anything to compare it to but the patients were trached, had stage 3...

    Nicolanz replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Nursing

  10. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    Nicolanz replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    For me, A&P was a breeze compared to nursing school. It was a prerequisite so maybe that's why it was easier. Nursing coorifice tests are so much harder. I made A's in A&P and have yet to make...

    Nicolanz replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He came from Liberia on September 19th. He was screened before he left and started having symptoms on the 24th, I think. It's scary because even though tests were negative, he still brought it here....

    Nicolanz replied to NCRN97's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nicolanz replied to Peanut&Buttercup's topic in Hospice, Palliative
