6. Ironing your Scrubs

   Apollo85 replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

   Wow! I never knew about taking them out of the dryer and folding/hanging them immediately to prevent wrinkles. I've always had to iron them to make it look neat, but I hate ironing so I just go with the wrinkled clothes most times. That's good advice...

7. Statistics

   Apollo85 replied to Apollo85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks all. I never imagined I'd need to know stats for nursing, none of the nurses i know have ever mentioned anything related to stats, even old classmates who are currently nursing students. Shouldn't be too hard I guess, I had some exposure to st...

11. How do you deal with annoying classmates?

    Apollo85 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I would put some distance between us so I can block them out completely or more easily. If that doesn't work, definitely be upfront about it and mention it to them, explain the situation. It could be that they just don't realize what they're doing. I...

14. Summer School

    Apollo85 replied to HumorHeals22's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it's definitely possible. Aside from working hard and having good study habits, it can also depend if you get lucky and get a professor that doesn't bother with irrelevant fact and stick with the main ideas and topics. Good luck!

15. Rate My Professor
