    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    CrazierThanYou replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    To the 50 something year old guy, no one cares how much beer you drank last night/yesterday/this weekend. You sound like a 18 year old bragging about how many beers you had. And it is truly amazing,...

    What do you do between classes.

    CrazierThanYou replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I live my life between classes! I heard all the stories about how once you're in nursing school, that nursing school IS your life. I don't think so. I'm a bit busier because I do have tons of reading...
