  7. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    Jfarmboy replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are only as "stupid" as you say you are. By you saying the word stupid you what you are really meaning is not smart. Someone who is truly "stupid" is someone who can't do simple math problems such...

    Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jfarmboy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear a lot on here how it is always best when in nursing school to have a female in the room when anything invasive is done on a female patient. I would think this would also apply to male CNA's?...

    Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay thanks for the info. I can understand being hawk eyed in CNA clinicals or RN clinicals. I get nervous with people watching my every move. In school it would be okay, but if I had to be supervised...

    Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Jfarmboy replied to ArrowRN's topic in Male Nursing Students
