    Jayhawk4Life replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in Men in Nursing

  8. Does phlebotomy sound like a reasonable part time job?

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Men in Nursing

  9. Nursing Scholarships

    Jayhawk4Life replied to playmaker2008's topic in Male Nursing Students

  13. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    I can attest because I grew up with Brittany's, we hunted them and they were fabulous dogs. I want a dog that will play/jog with me, maybe train to hunt, but I don't want a couch potato. That's why I...

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    Jayhawk4Life replied to travisandjamie01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
