Even though I'm "young", I've never gotten why people put everything about their life on social media. I remember when I first started using facebook, it was so unusual to me that I could know what a...
School may contribute to your depression if you are feeling isolated. Have you tried getting counseling or making time for things outside of nursing school? You can also try talking with your...
I'm sorry you failed. It is always tough to fail things. Were you given any information prior to Dec 16 about your performance? At my school we get feedback after every clinical session, so we are...
