  1. New Nurse, terrible shift

    Rob27 replied to ascty87's topic in General Nursing

    Do not worry about the other nurses "outgoingness and confidence." The best nurses I have ever seen are shy, quiet, and ask lots of (good) questions. If you don't know it, then that's OK, you can find...

  2. Leaving federal job for nursing school

    Rob27 replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Leaving federal job for nursing school

    Rob27 replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Program retention rates question

    Rob27 replied to DegreeOrBust's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't really understand why it's even in question. Of course the programs weed you out in order to keep their NCLEX rates up. It's in their very best interest to do so. I would be more amazed if...

  6. What did you think of General Psychology?

    Rob27 replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. A&P Critical Thinking Help?

    Rob27 replied to amanda081106's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing that pops in my mind is: 1) Look up what the condition does, and look at how CO2 is packaged or carried in the blood. Put the information together and you should have an answer. 2)...

  11. May have failed an Anatomy exam (unreasonably hard Professor)

    Rob27 replied to Nung's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rob27 replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate online classes with a passion, although sometimes they are necessary. I cringe everytime I have to sign up for one. To me, it's just a lot of busy work. I like being able to ask a qustion live...
