    jesa replied to BigBoy75's topic in New York Nursing

    jesa replied to jesa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thank you! yeah, this is my personal "practice from" copy. the heart/oatmeal is a joke we all repeat - one of our teachers said. at the time it just seemed like such an odd thing to say, it became our...

    jesa replied to jesa's topic in General Students

    I'm sure others feel this way - I don't know what to do with myself!!! I just finished an 18 month accelerated BSN so literally the past 18 months have been non stop insanity...I don't think it's hit...

    jesa replied to 918runnr's topic in General Nursing

    jesa replied to 918runnr's topic in General Nursing

    jesa replied to cinder06's topic in General Nursing
