    bopeep82 replied to hpark1278's topic in Maryland Nursing

  4. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    bopeep82 replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

  5. What things did you need the most as a nursing student?

    bopeep82 replied to app18's topic in General Students

    A prescription for Ativan. I'm kidding, sort of. I found being organized (which is something you can't buy, but must apply) is imperative. A good pair of shoes. Plantar fasciitis is horrible. It's...

  10. Which shoes to buy for nursing clinicals?

    bopeep82 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I bought Danskos. I'm a Dansko snob, so it's all I will wear in terms of nursing. :) They are expensive, but real leather, which mean they adapt to your foot shape. They also last

  13. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

    bopeep82 replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

  17. Is using quizlet to study NCLEX questions cheating?

    bopeep82 replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

    bopeep82 replied to strawberryswing's topic in General Students

    bopeep82 replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students
