    lifelearningrn replied to Morganward5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dating a Doctor

    lifelearningrn replied to Wildcat2009's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Tell people to kiss your backside. There are a lot of male nurses, I went to school with many, many males as well. Nurses are NOT wannabe doctors... you're right when you see the model, they are...

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    lifelearningrn replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm not sure of anyone who felt confident or competent at the first clinical. Heck, I never felt great at clinical, they are scary, you're learning a whole new world and language. Some of the...

    How Hard is LPN school if You are not good in science.

    lifelearningrn replied to jazzy1990's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why NOT private??

    lifelearningrn replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Test Ethics Question

    lifelearningrn replied to studentRNclassof15's topic in General Students

    I think sending an anonymous email of what you believe you saw would be the best approach. This takes the ball out of your hands and puts it in the hands of the instructors. At the very least, they...

    lifelearningrn replied to sharapatan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Itt, unfair exit Hesi policy

    lifelearningrn replied to zionsma's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    This used to be a rule at TWU (Texas) and the school was forced to change the policy because it's now considered illegal (I don't know if this is a state thing or national thing) to hold a person's...

    lifelearningrn replied to Amanda97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
