1. Marijuana and Nursing School

   StVitusDanceRN replied to heather19's topic in General Students

   I for one have never tried it. Been around people who have done it and did not care for their laid back high most of the time. I have seen some react in a erratic way and become violent. Why did I not try it? Because it is illegal and as a professio...

2. Cardiac/Tele Apps

   StVitusDanceRN replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students

   Kalvera- I find your attitude a little troubling. I understand you are angry but you are also coming across like your entitled. Yes you are a veteran and are given points towards the application process yet that doesn't guarantee you a job there cou...

4. How to properly measure intervals in an EKG

9. Why do nurses clean off their shoes at work?

10. Nclex prep-only read the correct answer?

    StVitusDanceRN replied to lifewithkids's topic in General Students

    I don't think that would help since the test questions are not found anywhere else. So memorizing answers won't help. You need to understand what the question is actually asking and choose the best answer.
