    happy2learn replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    happy2learn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. omg I'm really worried now

    happy2learn replied to supaflyz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    happy2learn replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    happy2learn replied to asdjkl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. Seriously hating clinicals - please help

    happy2learn replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

    I think you should just ask the patients, with a big smile. Just politely ask them and explain that you're a student and if they reject you, then move on to another patient. I'm sure there are plenty...
