    Carpediem1012 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This time, I would like to offer hugs to you Esme. I hope in the same situation, I would act as you did. You were acting out of best interest for a loved one. No one should judge that. In fact, I'm...

    Is this a good guide for getting through clinicals?

    Carpediem1012 replied to LadyK90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you taking pharmacology before clinicals start? Here are my two best hints. First, learn the drug classes. Know how they generally work and what they are generally used for. That will tell you a...

    Are your choice of scrubs childish?

    Carpediem1012 replied to rose89's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    Carpediem1012 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    Esme, I was pretty shocked seeing it! As a student, however, I didn't say anything. Not just in the back, but right in the hallways.
