  2. RNs on my clinical unit are mean!

    Mudwoman replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

    I always loved having students, but then I enjoy explaining stuff and "teaching". Most other nurses don't. It isn't that they are trying to be mean. I had a nurse come and "give" me her student...

  5. Personality Type and Nursing

    Mudwoman replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

  6. Is There Really A Shortage Of Nurses?

    Mudwoman replied to Vman's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. Experienced nurses, please help!

    Mudwoman replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    Mudwoman replied to Nursygirl76's topic in Nursing Career

  13. failed NC1 , being so sad and amazed

    Mudwoman replied to singlelife's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Look for text books on amazon and ebay used for a fraction of the price. Some of the recommended EC texts I got for under $10. You don't have to do the tests in any order. Maybe think about going...

  14. The College Network?

    Mudwoman replied to trustar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    College Network. AUGH! I bought the 7 study guides and I did use them, but I also used the text books that EC recommended. I will make someone a great deal on these! The state of Arkansas has a...
