  2. Right way to study?

    Glimmer replied to adamsmom's topic in General Students

    Glimmer replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

  4. How not to feel guilty for breaking?

    Glimmer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I agree with above when they say you have to take time for yourself. I know that isnt easy because I am there with you. But, from personal experience, if you dont then you will snap. I did. I had a...

  6. Which BP cuff

    Glimmer replied to BrooklynRN2008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  8. Chronic Procrastinators' Thread

    Glimmer replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. NET... did you use the test guides?

    Glimmer posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    Glimmer replied to leneilia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. so confused.

    Glimmer replied to Kristen407's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The osteopathic schools are nice... but I dont think med school is for me. I am happy with my choice of nursing school (at least for now... maybe when I get out in the field and few years under my...

    Glimmer replied to Kristen407's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. How do you make flash cards?

    Glimmer replied to dreamBIG's topic in General Students
