    broughden replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    broughden replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate. I'm a non-traditional, 3rd career, nursing student. This week we had a research paper due. We were given a choice of topics and two sources by the professor. Wanting to excel at the...

    Is it possible to raise my 2.76 to a 3.0?

    broughden replied to AnnB395's topic in General Students

    Why do people post the most inane questions on here and expect perfect strangers to be able to answer them, without supplying any of the relevant information? Based on the fact you posted this here...

    What would you do if nursing staff refuses do carry out your request?

    broughden replied to Saflanut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You dont have to be a "PROVIDER" to look at a patient's skin and find ticks. See the fully licensed RN's (wyosamRN) response just above yours. Yes I am presently a simple BSN student but I was a...
