   LoRNzo replied to MilwaukeeRNstu's topic in Male Students

   Personally I go to the gym and love my tennis shoes they are Nike Shox work well for running and higher impact stuff so they too are great for standing all day. For a bit dressier feel I wear my Dr. Marten boots very comfortable too.

    I just graduated Nursing school on May 23, 2009 and completed school with a GPA of 3.89 which suprisingly was enough to make me the valedictorian of the class. I was able to work throughout school too. Not much of a social life outside work, school ...
