    tenjuna replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Not entirely sure what you meant there, but I am guessing it's a politically-correct thing to say kind of thing. In the future I will just say "go see the person who will give your dangle a...

    tenjuna replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    I have 2 teenagers, and while I don't have to deal with the feedings and diaper changes, I do still have to deal with the whining and massive amount of $ it costs to keep them fed . Seriously, kudos...

    tenjuna replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Frankly, don't clean the house. When the dishes and clothes run out and they start complaining to you, grab your books, go to Dunkin Donuts, and let them deal with it. Sooner or later they will get...

    tenjuna replied to sjtrk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Will my backgroubd keep me from getting my nursing license?

    tenjuna replied to BrandyLeeMorse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    tenjuna replied to jglover4168's topic in Male Nursing Students

    tenjuna replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students
