  1. Standardization of nursing students uniform

    TheSquire replied to ryna's topic in General Students

    Honestly, who cares if the school is public or private? Schools should be judged on their own reputations and that of their students, not whether they get enough money from the state to be considered...

  8. Unions - Should I? Shouldn't I?

    TheSquire replied to wrigleyvillemsn's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm currently a nursing student, but at my previous job I was a unionized white-collar worker. My understanding is that any situation in which an employer can view its employees as interchangeable...

    TheSquire replied to PMG42177's topic in Male Nursing Students

  16. Patient on a Ventilator

    TheSquire replied to NS2SBowman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    TheSquire replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    You're free to vent here, but if you don't use proper punctuation, spelling, and semi-coherent paragraphs, I'm not going to read it. As for your actual problem: welcome to adulthood. It's like high...

  23. How much will the nursing program affect my sports watching?

    TheSquire replied to ljonm's topic in Male Nursing Students
