  12. Turned off by fellow nursing students...

    Quietly observe. You will notice periods of time where all the pinheads wander off together. Staying behind will be a few students keeping to themselves. They are the real adults.
  13. Staying Positive....how to?

    What I do that helps: 1. Count your blessings. 2. Help someone. 3. Let all snide comments and rudeness slide, except those that will keep you up at night. Then speak your mind quickly and move on.
