   Jedi of Zen replied to sirahola's topic in General Students

   As a recent graduate, I will tell you this: I don't think anyone really likes nursing school Even for people who are "meant" to be nurses, it is still a very difficult road. If you're doing okay...

   Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

   I graduated from school in May 2009, and have also passed NCLEX. I guess new grads seem to be a dime a dozen right now, despite the "nursing shortage". But I am wondering - shamelessly - if anyone...

9. Prison rape

   Jedi of Zen posted a topic in Correctional

   I have read that in the US, the rate of male-on-male rape in prison (ie, not the number of instances, but the rate of occurence) is high enough to rival the rate that occurs in "normal" life outside...

    Jedi of Zen replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Based on everything you described, I think you did an EXCELLENT job. I imagine that I probably would have done precisely the same things that you did. I'm not sure I see what, if anything, you...
