  2. What is your graduation gift?

    missjennmb replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    No need to be rude. You don't know their situation. Maybe their SO has money to burn. People go to nursing school for many reasons beyond just finances. As for myself, all this talk of buying a new...

  9. Found me another study tool

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  10. Found me another study tool

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    we cannot record either (other than AP). I record them myself, but I get more out of the actual reading them outloud part than the listening to them repeatedly part. So much for that $75 voice...

  12. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

  16. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    missjennmb replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Please don't make yourself so unapproachable that we are more terrified of you than the patients, staff, or our other teacher. Please don't make us feel as though we are stupid or wasting your time...

  17. Do you study from your text books ?

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    missjennmb replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students
