    Shinnichi posted a topic in General Nursing

    Shinnichi replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I think my mind has been made up for awhile, but I've just been too anxious to go through with it. I think I'm going to go ahead and ask them if I can come in and speak with them today. I...

    Shinnichi replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Nursing

  7. HESI Pharm section [1st semester]

    Shinnichi posted a topic in General Students

    Shinnichi replied to NS2015's topic in General Students

    I agree with the PPs. Try to find out if it's your studying/schooling that is affecting how he feels. At his age, you might be able to explain to him about your school-- it's temporary, and does take...

    Shinnichi posted a topic in General Students

    Shinnichi replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Students

  16. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    Shinnichi replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    I agree with the PPs about not worrying about the cheaters. IF they manage to make it into NS, the kinds of questions they will be faced with (and if your school is smart) the setup for testing won't...
