    Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- making someone feel guilty is a good thing? If this is your idea of motivation, I hope you're never my nurse or the nurse of someone I care about. There is not an overweight adult out there that...

    Discouraged in nursing school now

    lifelearningrn replied to Nicole74's topic in General Students

    Doctors certainly should be compensated for their service to the community, especially considering the kind of money it costs them to become doctors in the first place. People assume doctors are rich-...

    84% = Failing Grade?

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

    I can see considering anything below 75% failing.. 85% leaves too little wiggle room and gives instructors a lot more power over a student's grade. An instructor can make or break you.. and some are...

    NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    lifelearningrn replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students
