    Tattoos and piercings

    Asherah replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Once upon a time, I came across an OR tech that had so many tats on his arms I can't believe he was allowed to expose them all. The most hilarious and ironic one was an iconic yet devilish looking...

    Did I just see your spine?

    Asherah replied to CDeniseGo's topic in General Students

    A's in Nursing School

    Asherah replied to Davisk01's topic in General Students

    First official grade from first semester is an A+ (97%), so I'm happy with that start. I will probably end up with three As and two Bs, but I'm satisfied as I tried my best. When you have three...

    I hate nursing

    Asherah replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Nursing Students Treated Like 3rd Graders

    It does happen, in a lot of nursing programs, I'm not sure why you are so surprised and offended. Every day students find new ways to cheat or game the system, thus administrators and faculty must...

    Asherah replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I'd say its an example of how flexible the administration and adcom is, really. I had a feeling they would be able to change it for you. I don't know how often they meet for decisions, but my...
