    NurseShelly replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  2. Intimidation and Threats in Nursing School

    NurseShelly replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

  6. What do I do??

    NurseShelly replied to Ivanna_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    NurseShelly replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so proud to be a nurse. No, not everyday is pleasant, but I feel I'm part of something wonderful and exceptional; so much so that not everyone can do it, or even comprehend why someone else...

  8. After reading negative thread, want to give up nursing dream!

    NurseShelly replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

  13. What Degree?????

    NurseShelly replied to Haunted's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
