    ladyinred667 replied to mmr2's topic in General Students

    We have to report at 7:30am for pre-conference. There wouldn't be any point in getting there earlier than that, and the teacher doesn't make a big deal about being 2-3 minutes late. There is one...

    ladyinred667 replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    ladyinred667 replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a first semester RN student, and we were told that all tattoos have to be covered. If it's on your arm, you have to wear long sleeves, on your neck and you have to wear a turtleneck. As far as...

    We have to take a Nursing ProCalc exam 5 times. Once before we get in, and then in each of the 4 semesters. Each time the test gets harder and you have to have a higher percentage to pass. By your...

  14. See-thru white scrubs

    ladyinred667 replied to blueberry21's topic in General Students

    My school switched from white to navy recently supposedly because there was a girl who always showed up in red thongs. So your revolution just might work for you
