I was wondering if it was difficult for you to make friends in your nursing class.
It seems that it is difficult sometimes and sometimes it aint.
anyways.
gotta go for now.

I guess it depends on you for the most part, how outgoing you are, whether you actively seek out new friends. That being said, I too have noticed the context isn't always on my side. In my school, nursing classes are organized into smaller groups (15) that are (after the first semester) made up of even smaller sub-groups. These sub-groups are people who have worked together before and have geled together nicely into a study group or something and are not particularly open to newcomers later on. Some people are just plain on a mission and don't have time or any inclination to make friends. Those that have a natural tendency to panic, find each other and encourage each other to do so.. Same for the really smart ones, who stick together. It is always interesting to look at the dynamics of people in these groups. Anyway, so much for my armchair psychology... :) I seem to always come across new friendly faces in my classes. Its a matter of slowing down and taking time to look around.
