    springchick1 replied to Mshrader's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry you are so bent out of shape over a genuine question. I wasn't being rude and there is nothing negative about my question. I'm not sure why you are so bent out of shape since you aren't the OP....

    Ridiculous NCLEX Wait Times

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    springchick1 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    springchick1 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students
