Support from local hospitals

Published

I had my orientation into my clinical course today and the local hospital brought bags full of supplies for all the students. Things inside were IV starter kits, sterile gloves, vinyl gloves, single head stethoscope among other things. I think it was really nice of them to support the nursing program like that.

Does anyone have local hospitals that does stuff like that for their program?

Nope. Ours doesn't but that would be AWESOME! We buy a bag with a lot of those things and then a stethoscope and cuff on our own.

Makes me wonder how bad the work environment reputation for that hospital must be for them to engage in that kind of graft. Hospitals can't afford to give something for nothing...."nice" has nothing to do with it, trust me.
