    walkingdeadhead replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Rather than the dual screen, I put all my notes onto the note section of ppt and print off the note pages to use as a guide. Lots of paper, but since I keep it year after year it's worth

    walkingdeadhead replied to chocolateistheanswer's topic in General Nursing
