   polter posted a topic in General Students

   I just failed a clinical this previous semester and my confidence took a dive from it as my instructor found various flaws in my clinical performance -- amongst the complaints, the two that felt true to me were my confidence/communication skills and ...

2. Gay male nurse stereotype?

   polter replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

   That's one of the conclusions you can draw from his post if you decide not to use all that is given. In the context of this discussion, what he said could be quite discriminating and would require some clarification, unless he doesn't wish to be take...

   i fail to realize how the students' skin tone was relevant to your claim.

4. Anyone know if 265 questions means I passed?

   polter replied to shadow40's topic in NCLEX

9. Clinicals question

   polter replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas

   That's strange; the vaccine is the same for both adults/children aside from the site of administration. I got mine at a local clinic. Though before you get the vaccine series started, I'd make sure what the school is requiring you to do. My school ...
