    cyntrim replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I think that nursing school is a state of mind. After my first year I realize I do not miss the mind numbing TV that I was watching nightly. I already lived a structured life so it was ok to have a...

  10. Digital Recording - Helpful or Time Consuming?

    cyntrim replied to NyLALove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
