1. Second COursers make good RNs, what do you think?

   purply_hazy replied to mtreyes's topic in International

   Nursing is an entirely different field I think. A previous degree doesn't necessarily guarantee one of being a good RN. Sure that units earned and work experience not related to nursing could be of great help, also the fact that they are now more ser...

   hi! Congratulations and good luck for reaching this far. I just graduated this March and I remember the same amount of anxiety I had back then. I recommend you get Kozier's Fundamentals of Nursing and Piliterri's Maternal and Child Health Nursing.

8. Marriage distress

   purply_hazy replied to amberc's topic in General Students

   My husband and I separated ways because he found someone new while he's working far away. In my case, I used studying as means of keeping myself busy so as not to wallow in misery thinking of what he had done. It's a shame because I'm doing this for ...

    gee... the dreaded "phlegm"! I'm the type who can stomach almost anything except those connected with sputum. That makes suctioning as one of the most dreaded tasks I have to deal with. I don't know why since I do get those at times, but it really ma...
