How do I approach Daddy?

Nurse SMS replied to LuLutheClown's topic in General Students

I am curious though - he said he would help with the first semester and you are now already tapped out by your own words. How are you intending to pay for all the other semesters even if he pays for...

Nurse SMS replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

The unfortunate truth is that not everyone is cut out to be a nurse. I am not implying YOU aren't...I do think if you tell yourself you are doing absolutely everything you can, you are in essence...

Nurse SMS replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

In my school Bs are rarely good enough to get accepted into the nursing program. It is that competitive. Check into how your school ranks applicants. You can do
Help with studying effectively.

Nurse SMS replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

I do a 30 minutes on, 10 off thing. I study for 30 minutes, then get up, stretch, make a sandwich, fold a load of laundry, go kiss my husband, step outside into the sun and snap the flowers off my...

Nurse SMS replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

It sounds like they feel you are not doing your part, not that they are "picking on you". And yes, they talk to one another. If there is a weakness in one area, they may compare to see if you are weak...
