    Nursing instructor doesn't allow open textbooks during lecture !??!

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to LVNlivin's topic in General Students

    What on earth is wrong with you?!?!? As others have said, by the time our nursing textbooks go to print, they're already out of date. I use my books as reference for care plans and that's about it...

    Why??

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to BrownNAchic's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People don't get it until they've been there. So, it's either going to take a "bring your family to work day" or people just minding their own and being understanding. I work full time and I'm in...

    Stay on top of the pain! That bone pain from mets is nothing to mess with. If it helps, most of my instructors for clinicals where patients in the facility all had pressure sores for one reason or...
