3. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   allie1230 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   allie1230 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

   Scribbler, Thanks for your response! I am entering into our program tomorrow, and though I am excited, I have already heard and read so much about careplans that I am already a little intimidated. Your reasoning and explanations will likely live i...

9. Smelly question

   allie1230 replied to allie1230's topic in General Nursing
