This app, if you're like me and deserving on being a L&D nurse, is going to come in REAL handy! Sadly because it's free it's not going to have all the medications available, but if you're lucky and have money this would be an incredibly handy app

Getting Through Lab Practicals

Do not fret! Lab practicals are not as scary as they seem! Many of you have probably never taken one before so here's a brief overview of the average test:
So depending on the teacher depends on how strict they are during the actual exam, but basically there will be stations on different areas in your classroom. You will go to each "station"and answer the question written either on a card near the station or on the paper the teacher gives you. Most likely there will be a time limit for each station, but they usually give you a few minutes after everyone has gone each station to go back to one that caused you a problem.
So seriously do not panic! You will do fine! Just study hard and remain calm, nothing good ever came from a panic attack around dead cats and scalpel.
See yeah next time!
