    sjalv replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Pierced ears; need advice

    sjalv replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

  8. Pierced ears; need advice

    sjalv replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

  9. Pierced ears; need advice

    sjalv replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't feel like it's okay for a school to say "men can't wear earrings but women can". If it is in the clinical site's employee handbook, that's their deal, but either way it's sexism. This isn't...

  13. Nursing Imposters

    sjalv replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. How are clinical groups?

    sjalv replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    There were 8 people in our clinical group. One person dropped out halfway through. We all meshed well personality wise, but I only carpooled with one another person. She and I became good friends...

    sjalv replied to TexasNoel's topic in Texas Nursing

    sjalv replied to TexasNoel's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can't comment on that particular school, but I took A&P1 and A&P2 at my college during the same semester and I did fine. I would not want to do Chem, A&P1, and A&P2 all together,...

  24. Do I have to take biology 1 and 2?

    sjalv replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students
