    barbaratruth replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. deaf pt hearing voices

    barbaratruth replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I had psychology a few years ago, this came up in class. I would think "hearing" is more of an expression the patient is using to translate that thoughts other than her own are being communicated...

    I'm trying to figure out how you only needed a 78 on the final to get an A. I went into my final with a 93 average, got a 93 on the final and got an A- for the course. In my nursing program, a 74 on...
