    mindlor replied to lovecorinth's topic in General Nursing

    mindlor replied to Berkshire1995's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    mindlor replied to Monster A GoGo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The primary problem in my opinion would still be impaired skin integrity. Also, most cases of herpes are not genital. Ever had a cold sore? That is

  9. I hate nursing exams

    mindlor replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    You can kick, you can scream, but if you want to succeed you will need to stop fighting and assimilate...... I fought at first and then realized it was going to be a fruitless waste of

  10. I hate nursing exams

    mindlor replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    mindlor replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    The difference is that nursing tests are designed to test your critical thinking skills. Science tests are designed to see if you can spew out knowledge.........comparing them is like comparing apples...

  16. Is it possible to be too emotional for nursing?

    mindlor replied to emilyleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have seen many students choose to leave nursing school because they realized that they could not seperate themselves from the patient situation. Not a knock on them at all and in fact kudos to them...
