I do agree with what the article mention about that everybody in the hospital started out as a student but allow me to tell you that as a nursing student, I've found out that many nurses and other health care professionals forget that they were students at some point and at times do look down on the student. What I intent to do is learn from such attitude and not to ever forget that I at some point was student.

Okay... Step #6 is where I am. Bypassed #7 since I already am heading to Nurse-Paramedic Critical Care. I think that there should be at least three additions.. #5.1 Choose a nursing mentor #5.2 set aside a specific study time, #5.3 get involved in a study group
