AWESOME! I'm super excited now! I was afraid I'd have to be watching to make sure I wasn't stabbed with a toothbrush or something.

Oh, so its not like you do in Med Surge where you actually do hands on care and baths and meds? Its just going to see what you learned in theory applied?

I'm just a student so I can't give you much help, but what about Memphis? We have Lebonheur, St. Jude and the Baptist ICU is the best anywhere-but I'm biased, they saved my sisters life. :)

Hey thanks everyone, you made some good points I hadn't thought of. I got some good news-that next semester I have my clinicals with my friends so that gave me a boost to continue this semester out and into the next. Thanks! I'm going to stay where I am for now.

I'm in a BSN program right now and its super stressful because it is an extremely competative nursing program and I'm getting tired of dealing with professor politics. Anyway, I am considering transferring to the local community college and just getting an associates degree because I HATE school. Has anyone done this, or do you have an opinion on this? I kind of want to get through the BSN program because it would look GREAT on my resume because my school has a great reputation for good nurses, but do employers really care about where you went to school?

I am really looking for a lab values worksheet to take to clinicals with me so that I don't have to fill in all the names=saving time so I'm not awake till 5am. Does anyone have one from their nursing program they could send me? I need a list of like BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, etc. etc.
