  1. We're not here for that

    pixiebuddymick replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    Oh YES we are! That is all my first clinical is. Literally. The PCAs are sitting there twiddling their thumbs because we are doing a lot of what is considered "their" work. I will be honest. At first...

  2. I feel like I don't know anything!

    pixiebuddymick replied to Megatron89's topic in General Students

    I TOTALLY GET IT! I am right there with you. Second year as well. Hang in there. Interestingly enough, my grades are actually way up from the previous semesters. Some of my friends in the program ask...

    pixiebuddymick posted a topic in General Students

    I know I am not alone here... I am by myself tonight with my recently turned 3 year old daughter. I should also mention that tonight I am trying to study because I am not concerned with the super...

  5. What is ATI?

    pixiebuddymick replied to coffee247's topic in General Students

  7. Documentation Help PLEASE!

    pixiebuddymick replied to pixiebuddymick's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Peripheral pulses - I'm not entirely convinced they exist!

    pixiebuddymick replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
