    smf0903 replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    smf0903 replied to MaryZ16's topic in General Students

    If we want to access Internet we have to use one of the floor computers...that are used for charting and med pulls (clearly there's not a lot of googling done on the floors we're on LOL

    Mosby dictionary pocket or ebook?

    smf0903 replied to MaryZ16's topic in General Students

    Ebooks can be easier, but keep in mind that some facilities still do not allow iPhones, etc. on the floor. We can't have phones/iPads/iPods or anything like that on the floor at our clinical sites per...

    Am I Being Bullied?

    smf0903 replied to wendey's topic in General Students

    I think instructors and preceptors are the equivalent to parents: they are there to teach you, guide you, and make sure you are successful and competent. They are not a peer and are not there to be a...

    smf0903 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Who determines if you are a RN.

    smf0903 replied to DXHX's topic in General Students
