   cfrimer replied to cfrimer's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   cfrimer replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

10. Direct Entry GRE, GPA

    cfrimer replied to BlueJune's topic in Post Graduate Students

    cfrimer replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my exact fear too. I'm starting my nursing program in September. My biggest worry is vomit. I can't even watch fake vomiting on TV. Even the SOUND of someone vomiting in another room makes...

14. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    cfrimer replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love this! It's direct without being rude in return, and it leaves the person room to correct his or her ways without losing too much

15. What would you do?

    cfrimer replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Tracy, I don't think this sounds out of line at all. It certainly can't hurt to give it a try! I withdrew from a class myself and was ultra paranoid to be sure that the withdrawal request was...
