    WinterWolf90 replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have been to Athens once, and that was to buy a car from the local police. From what I have seen it seems like a small rural area. I only live like 2 hours away from Knoxville, and Knoxville is a...

    WinterWolf90 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Mine rotation wasn't awful, but I am the only one that didn't get to see a birth of any kind. And the one patient that was going to let me see a birth I didn't get to see because the nurse didn't want...
