Welcome to my page for nursing students. My name is Cynthia. I completed nursing school in 1998 and am working at a local hospital on a Med-Surg/Respiratory/Telemetry unit.

Before I go on, I'd like to ask for suggestions as to what type of Review Questions there is an interest in seeing next. I have limited time to work on this page and would like to be sure to write useful questions when I do get to devote some time to it! Please email me at cwidick@evansville.net

Please check out the Review Questions on the lower half of the page. Please let me know what you think - what do you want more of or how would this be more helpful? It takes time to write the questions, so I'll be activating the links as I upload the new sections.

For anyone who hasn't been in, or had a family member in, nursing school and who is uncertain what the fuss is about....A nursing student "takes leave" of family, friends, and former routine for a couple of years. (Maybe a support group for the families should be formed.) For those of you with kids, did you ever think there would be a time when you'd get less sleep than you did when your children were born? Can you vaguely remember being satisfied when you finished that novel before it was due to go back to the library? That's a couple of nights' worth of light reading now. Are you learning all about good nutrition, adequate sleep, and healthful lifestyles --- and finding that you're not following any of the recommendations? Has Level of Consciousness taken on a whole new meaning for you? That's nursing school!! But there are also the really good times: friends, laughter, and experiencing special moments when you realize exactly why you wanted to do this.
