Editor's Notes
#2:We’re on the home stretch now, just one last thing to cover. We want to make sure that when you turn up for your first go in The Labs on Thursday you’re correctly prepared & have an idea of what to expect. If you’re not correctly prepared you won’t be able to complete that lab session, which means that you’ll have make-up work to do, which would be an awful start to the practical side of nursing. Most students tell us that they think the practical side of nursing & the practice labs are their favourite bits, so let’s make sure we get it right from the get-go.
