    lifelearningrn posted a topic in General Students

    I bow to all who were able to keep their toddlers at arms length and foresee every possible danger. For the record, when my two boys were toddlers I was hyper-vigilant as well. They never got into...

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    RNs Relocating to Las Vegas

    lifelearningrn replied to team_Rnurses's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Well, I guess everyone has their reasons for loving/hating a place. Personally, I agree that Las Vegas would be a miserable place to live. I'm not a fan of deserts, and Vegas is definitely right smack...

    Asking for a change of grade

    lifelearningrn replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fighting for the things you want means working hard for them in the first place. It can't hurt to ask? I guess not, if you're okay with asking for things you don't deserve. Asking for help would have...

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    This argument doesn't help your cause. Nobody would accept a heroin or alcoholic using on the job simply because they are addicted and would 'go out of their minds'. Yes, smoking is legal and it is...
