    ORRocksRN replied to ORRocksRN's topic in General Students

    its not quite that simple, but yes, I have organized several groups in the past. the problem with that is that the weaker students always want to join your group so you end up dragging them along and...

    ORRocksRN replied to jolly4u's topic in General Students

    ORRocksRN replied to HelloRose's topic in General Students

  5. Dismissed from the Nursing Program. What are my chances?

    ORRocksRN replied to Somethingcreative's topic in General Students

    ORRocksRN replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

  11. Nursing school weight gain

    ORRocksRN replied to rocket2010's topic in General Students

    Geez, no, you are not alone! It is not only the lack of exercise and snacking but for me, it is the stress. Stress increases cortisol, which makes you store fat. We are finishing first year, and we...

    ORRocksRN replied to J87513's topic in Florida Nursing

    ORRocksRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students
