    truckinusa posted a topic in Texas Nursing

  3. Keys to Studying Better Using Your Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic Talents

    truckinusa replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

  4. Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    truckinusa replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

  5. Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    truckinusa replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

  9. I passed, you didnt.

    truckinusa replied to FutureRNKKP's topic in General Students

    I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong at all, but I just think if you are this good you should be helping others that are struggling to pass. I've offered my mediocre nursing school abilities...

    truckinusa replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    truckinusa replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    truckinusa replied to cnoto34's topic in General Students

    truckinusa replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students
