  1. straight caths and students

    MIA-RN1 replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Its reasonable as long as they have learned it. If you mean can they just do it, maybe not because they may have only practiced on a dummy in the lab. But should they be able to learn by doing with...

  4. Books? Journals? Etc...

    MIA-RN1 replied to ReeseRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I like AJN and Nursing 2007. You can go to Amazon and search the nursing journals/magazines for one that suits your interests and then subscribe. I think books are great but go out of date too quick...

    MIA-RN1 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

  8. liar liar

    MIA-RN1 replied to MsKieshaRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. When will I get the hang of it?

    MIA-RN1 replied to hica19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It will all come with time. There is a 'click' around six months and you will feel better. Hang in there! In the meanwhile, make yourself a good assignment sheet. Mine is blocked out by hours, so...

    MIA-RN1 replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    MIA-RN1 replied to MALE*RN*777's topic in General Nursing

  17. Job type during Nursing school?

    MIA-RN1 replied to taicjc's topic in General Nursing

  23. Need tips for working with student RNs!

    MIA-RN1 replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing
