Please come to the first ever nursing PDA party!
Wednesday, 1600 - 1700ish in Locke 314!
I know this is last minute, but please get the word out. If you have a PDA or are thinking of getting one, this is the meeting for you. PDAs are new to us all. These are the medical items of the future. Hospitals are being rewired to accomodate their use. Some of us have had a couple of semesters head start in learning some of the ropes. I am figuring out new stuff almost every day, so come on and share what you have learned with the rest of us. If you are wondering about which one to get or which programs to put into it, this is the meeting for you.
These are fantastic devices that will help keep you organized with your information at hand.
Bring your questions, your knowledge, your programs, your laptop or anything else that you can think of.
This will be an informal show and share session. Hopefully we will be able to have more of these in the future. Please give your input on how we can make these sessions better. Get the word out to your instructors. Many of them are starting to use handhelds too.
If there is a lot of interest, we will have more of these sessions.

PDA party!!!!!
Tomorrow locke 314 @4:30pm.
Bring your PDA and all your questions regarding your PDA.
One great way to get your questions answered.

Hey there y'all.....Feb 15th is family night for the first semester students. Please come to volunteer if you can at 6:30 p.m., Mary Neville needs students to help with cookies, the skills lab etc.

Good Luck N4s on your first test!

I have been called in to work on Monday and so will not be able to make any of the study groups or SNA meeting that day. Sorry! If anyone wants to reschedule, for another time let me know.

Hey Christine, I am carrying around a new and improved CD for you. Compliments of Debbie. Remind me the next time that you see me. BTW I can meet you at school on Fri after my clinicals if 1500 or thereabouts isn't too late.
I would love to play with the IVs too! I have a thing for bubbles (air in the line).

Reminder:
The first SNA meeting
for the spring 2006
semester will be this Monday January 30th

Attention N4 Nurses
I went to Borders and and asked them to stock more of the yellow box of Mosby study NCLEXRN cards. They said that they will and have put in an order for 15 boxes. In the meantime, I bought their only box. If anyone is interested in buying this box from me, let me know (it's is still in the wrapper). The total after tax is $32.35.

There is a 1st semester nursing student who has a room(s) or house (4 bd, 2.5 bath) for rent within 5 minutes of the school. If you are interested or know of anyone else who is looking to get closer to school, let them know.
Her name is
Vicky Nieva

OK, really fast.
Just a humorous view of the kind of work ethics that we do not want to exhibit as nurses.
