  4. How're your backs doing guys?

    Jedi of Zen replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Jedi of Zen replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Heh. I imagine a lot of things can increase blood flow to the brain. Exercise, stimulants, wearing a head-warmer, etc. I suppose if Viagra or Cialis did the trick...more power to it. lol. You might...

    Jedi of Zen replied to occc2010rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Jedi of Zen replied to Lericalpoet's topic in Male Nursing Students

    How would you recognize the difference? ie, specifically regarding a post-op

  15. Anginal pain vs. sternotomy pain

    Jedi of Zen replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. I just waisted a semester of my life

    Jedi of Zen replied to Roberta88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think situations like this are actually a lot more common than many people realize. I won't bore you with all the details, but I actually got set back an entire year when I was taking my pre-reqs,...
