Lab Epectations for A&P1 & Chem?

Nurse SMS replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I think the set amount of time was implemented to help prevent cheating. The instructors in all my science classes have watched like a hawk for wandering eyes. Its an environment where it can be easy...

Why do dying people reach upward?

Nurse SMS replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

It is okay to be a nonbeliever, but it is also okay to be a believer. I don't think anyone was really trying to offer proof as much as just their own point of view. For those with faith, that is all...

Is DNR (do not resuscitate) a good idea?

Nurse SMS replied to tam-tam's topic in General Nursing
