    Plutonium261 replied to gislb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  3. Need help with a dosage problem?

    Plutonium261 replied to gislb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Plutonium261 replied to mattestin's topic in General Students

  18. Any advice on my upcoming semester, staring medsurg?

    Plutonium261 replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    Oh ok, my apologies, some of those books were for the RN versions, however, I'm sure they have similar texts for PN's. As far as the Maslow's Hierarchy goes, this is something that is universally...

  19. Pre-req question!

    Plutonium261 replied to AshleyDeeee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Should I tell the truth about graduating to get a job?

    Plutonium261 replied to NurseBaby88's topic in General Students

    Plutonium261 replied to dcwang's topic in General Students

    The thing you have to remember also is that you JUST started nursing school. Being that, I'm assuming that you've only had clinicals at one hospital site so far. Correct? If so, it may also just be...
