    nikki.p replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    nikki.p replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    nikki.p replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    I agree with you. I have known people that were very smart but just didn't have what it takes. Nursing school is tough and if you are not prepared for the worst then you gotta go. I also think that a...

    nikki.p replied to lovelyred24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    nikki.p replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing
