    Devon Rex replied to Karawana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Devon Rex replied to Digthis1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any programs without pre-reqs? (other than Yale)

    Devon Rex replied to Digthis1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! 1) I don't think you need to take the GRE unless if you are going for Masters or Doctorate degree. 2) Being male should not influence/affect being accepted into a nursing program. 3) I also...

    Devon Rex replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    disappointed in myself

    Devon Rex replied to jujugemini's topic in General Students

    Evaluation anxiety

    Devon Rex replied to Charlieboy1987's topic in General Students

    Ask your professor to allow you into the nursing lab for practice. Practice, practice, practice... maybe not so much for the skill (if you're really good at it), but to build up on your confidence....
