Nursing and women’s-only colleges have a long, shared history. Up until the beginning of the 19th century, women generally were not permitted to enroll in established colleges. As such, women’s-only colleges began sprouting up as institutions where women could earn a degree and begin a career. It was common for nursing schools to be named “Women’s Nursing School” because men and women attending college together were almost unheard of.

1. Set your phone or digital watch to military time. In healthcare , the 24-hour clock is generally used in documentation of care as it prevents any ambiguity as to when events occurred in a patient's medical history. 2. Get to know your team. Don't hesitate breaking the ice, introduce yourself, others are probably wondering who this new person is! Once you get to know everyone, try keeping a close group of people you can rely on and talk to when need be.
