need advice in classroom ettiquette

relax... you have more important thins to stress out about... if you want good advice... SMILE it changes the everyones mood..

Being a nursing student who is male- here is my advice.

I am not shy, but one of my classmates is and he is male. He associates with only a few other classmates who are female. He is closer with them than I am with him. He does not get overlooked. I do not think you will also. You are the only male or one of a few- it is hard for them not to notice you.

I would also agree with the females earlier. Do not try to force yourself to fit it- be yourself. It will come naturally. I would not gossip either. And yes, girls LOVE to talk.

Hope this helps.
