    How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    strawberryluv replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    strawberryluv replied to usethehaldol's topic in General Nursing

    I like working in a nursing home because I am guaranteed hours work, familiarity of patients over time (establish routine), subacute (I don’t like acute care), and availability of overtime. There...

    Got kicked out of nursing school

    strawberryluv replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

    How do you apply your knowledge for advanced pathophysiology exams?

    strawberryluv replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    I don’t like quizlet. It’s flash card design and I don’t study well like that. I mainly like to understand concepts and recall them by teaching inanimate objects not use flash

    I’m failing bio

    strawberryluv replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    strawberryluv replied to yourgoodneighbor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Advanced Pathophysiology notes

    strawberryluv replied to amy62402's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please critique my study system

    strawberryluv replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    strawberryluv replied to epinephrine1mg's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same way. I am definitely introverted and aloof but I can do some small talk. In my opinion, you don't need to be an extrovert to do this job. There is hardly any time to chat with any...
