    Jill2Shay replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. Still struggling with self confidence in clinicals

    Jill2Shay replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    I don't think there's anything wrong with vocalizing to your instructor that they're presence makes you nervous. Not that should mean they shouldn't be there, just that if you seem flustered it's not...

  16. I AM TERRIFIED

    Jill2Shay replied to Kdrenee's topic in General Students

    Jill2Shay replied to Tammy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    All root causes are risk factors, but not all risk factors are root causes. So something can't be the cause of the disease without having been a risk factor first. It sounds chronological to me. You...
