    MedicalPartisan replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Please don't think I'm trying to discredit the work you must put in, by any means. But I guess because I haven't started I just don't 'get it'. I know the grade requirements are more strict but... I...

    MedicalPartisan replied to goldpk's topic in General Students

    MedicalPartisan replied to andreead's topic in General Students

    MedicalPartisan replied to woodland123's topic in General Students

  7. 2014 grads: anyone getting a class ring?

    MedicalPartisan replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

  10. HOWS L.I.F.E as a MALE Nurse???

    MedicalPartisan replied to Student Nurse_7's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Funnily enough, the female RNs I work with actually prefer male nurses as collegues. I've heard them say males can "hold it together better" and "spaz out less". Males are loved in the field (in my...

    MedicalPartisan replied to Wildcat2009's topic in Male Nursing Students

  16. Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    MedicalPartisan replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Although it is derived only from genuine feeling, this very likely annoys your instructor. I don't have any advice as all situations are different but I'd definitely try an alternative approach.

  17. Ipad Air worth the money? Already have MBP.

    MedicalPartisan replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MedicalPartisan replied to handersen2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as difficulty with math goes, and this is subjective, but I'd guess your hardest science will be chemistry. All curricula are different but, in my experience, chemistry is typically only needed...

    MedicalPartisan replied to kevinbutler323's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This won't be of much immediate help to you but the best thing to do is to submerge yourself in English-speaking environments if you can. Also, browsing forums like this one will also help you get...

    Any running shoe, really. Vibrams are also cool. Although I've never really understood people and the spectrum of comfort level in regard to different shoes. As long as the size is right I'm fine....

    MedicalPartisan replied to Nolander's topic in Men in Nursing
