    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    All I can say is I am sorry, from the bottom of my heart that I was so stupid, careless, and inconsiderate to have flicked a cigarette out of the car way back in the day. Even though it's unlikely I...

    is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    lifelearningrn replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Oh- I'd like to say that I really think smokers should be allowed to smoke in their cars if they so wish to.. I think it's ridiculous to tell someone they can't smoke inside their own property, even...

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

    I don't think it's too much in general, but I would NOT take the AP1 online.. but I am not a huge fan of online classes so that clouds my judgment a bit. Also, the lab for AP1, imo, needs to be an...

    This is the one that I got in my school's bookstore. It is spiral bound so you can make copies and test yourself more than once. It's pretty cool but like others, I haven't used it

    Is it true that male new grads are not struggling

    lifelearningrn replied to gtshin30303's topic in General Nursing
