  10. Is nursing school always so unorganized?!?!

    spuropathy replied to buggy87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It happens. Because of whatever that is you have to do, you may find yourself behind on readings. In those cases, what helps me is that the night before class, instead of skimming over and learning...

    spuropathy replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    spuropathy replied to ColtsMom's topic in General Students
