    Nurse2bSandy replied to Havnfun's topic in First Year After Licensure

  3. Interviewing-- What should I ask?

    Nurse2bSandy replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nurse2bSandy replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nurse2bSandy replied to FutureArmyNurse's topic in General Students

  18. Bathing - scared to death!

    Nurse2bSandy replied to jennysjewels's topic in General Students

    Jenny, Relax! Bathing is a part of life. You do it all the time. You touch your naked body to care for yourself. It's normal and natural. When you bathe a client it is the same thing, but you do...

    Nurse2bSandy replied to Guest26407's topic in General Students

    I got an "incredibly easy" book that had to do with drug calcs. It helped some... but actually our text book was pretty straight forward. I'd just like to say that I am usually math challenged but...

  23. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    Nurse2bSandy replied to twintoo's topic in General Students
