  1. Cultural adaptation situations.. God must want me to be diabetic...

    Shorty11 replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

  2. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    Shorty11 replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

  7. Nursing Classes: Are they really that bad?

    Shorty11 replied to JD87's topic in General Students

    Just because I don't study 6+ hours a day does not mean I am blowing off nursing school. "You get out of nursing school what you put into it." Some don't need to put in as much time to achieve the...

    Shorty11 replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
