  1. I love my study group

  2. School supplies other than books?

    Despareux replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

    I use colored sticky tabs that you can write on and lots and lots of highlighters. I also prefer pencil to pen, so a good portable sharpener. Lots of pink erasers. Three ring binder dividers--I have...

  3. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    Despareux replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    It sounds like an good idea, but yeah, three ring binders seem to rip the holes and things get all messed up after that. Too bad though, I would love to carry less

    Despareux replied to bonnevie13's topic in School, College Programs

  9. How did you react when you were accepted into nursing school?

    Despareux replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Students

  10. What is best? Living at home or getting an apartment while in nursing??

    Despareux replied to Stargazn03's topic in General Students

  16. Literature needed to put Nursing School into prespective

    Despareux replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    How nice would it be if there were something for spouses to help them understand what nursing students go through. After all, there are books that help men understand pregnant

  17. Am I Always Going to Argue with my Instructors?

    Despareux replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Students

    I have the same issue. I used to be in technical writing and editing, so I find mistakes in my text books all the time; I point them out each time. I even contact the publishers regarding the mistake....

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    I needed perspective, not a lesson on what my responsibility is and is not as a volunteer. I am fully aware that meds, mouth wash, gum, etc.. can mimic the smell of alcohol. I must admit that I am...

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a bit offended by your "over zealous" statement. I came to this board for assistance from experienced nurses who may be able to help me. So what, I'm a volunteer, so does that mean I'm supposed to...
