    Near death experiences stories

    That Guy replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    Out of town clinical sites?

    That Guy replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    We would do the same in Wichita, KS. About the same distance too. Really didnt bother me. We carpooled and piled into a few hotel rooms. We had quite a good time

    What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    That Guy replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    iMac or MacBook!

    That Guy replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A base model 13" MacBook Pro would be way more than you need and its 1200. Either way, get a second monitor to hook up to. It makes research papers 1000000x easier. I prefer macs. I've grown up with...
