2. What do you wish for in a break room?

   Apollorn replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

   Waht do I wish for in my break room? Natalie Portman. Though in a more semi-realistic way, I'd like to have a cocktail bar... that'd be nice. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

3. Student Health Profile and Depression

   Apollorn replied to Student98's topic in General Nursing

   Apollorn replied to ChrisAHF's topic in General Nursing

   I'm still in school and I work as an LPN on the weekends. So I work roughly 24 hours per week while taking four classes and a practicum this semester. I can't say it's too stressful considering I'm posting here right now, can I? :)

    I have a fellow student who is ....interesting. She is shockingly rude, insensitive, and generally disrespectful. I don't mind it as much to the rest of the class, but she is disgusting to placements and patients. Here's a truncated list: 1) We have...

15. (vent) Group projects

    Apollorn replied to SoloWytch's topic in General Students

    Group projects are awful when other members don't pull their share. I'm going through it now and was fortunate to have a good group. My previous 3 were absolutely atrocious. Grit your teeth and perservere!
