    timinchrist replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Being a man in the field

    timinchrist replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't really think about the fact that the class is mostly women. I chose this field and going to class is just a pre-requisite to becoming a nurse. I guess that when I become a nurse, my mentality...

    timinchrist replied to DisneyNurse18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Sorry you're stressing. I'll have to agree with you that taking 5 other classes with A&P 1 was too much. I am also taking A&P 1 but with only 1 other class (Algebra). If I was to give...

    timinchrist replied to CTRNTOBE's topic in Male Nursing Students
