1. Physical Assessment

   SNLiz replied to Stdy2BaNurse's topic in General Students

   I would say this is fairly common in an ADN program. We learned how to do an assessment in short order and had to show them we could do it in a couple of weeks. I remember practicing on any...

3. Advice Needed...How to survive nursing school and parenthood at the same time!

   SNLiz replied to 18mara86's topic in General Students

6. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

7. What do you do if you don't get in?!? Has this happened to anyone!?

   SNLiz replied to butterfly80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

9. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

   SNLiz replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing
