    AragornSkywalker replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Oh, we have them in my school too. When I started patho, the teacher brought in 2 former students who whipped out their 150 page guides. I just cant believe people think it helps. The amount of time...

    AragornSkywalker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just learned today that they are raising the minimum pass bar for nursing classes to 80% starting with my class. It is currently at 75, but starting fall, its going to be 80. I know its typical to...

  15. Just my luck...

    AragornSkywalker replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students
