  2. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    Larry2016 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Larry2016 replied to guest769224's topic in General Students

    Larry2016 replied to Jen.Arceneaux's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Larry2016 replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I try to sit in the back but close enough to hear...but for exams there are assigned seats. Each seat is a theater style seating arrangement with those little arm desks. Being 6'3", I cannot take...

    Larry2016 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    OK since I am kind of new here I want to clarify some things. I try not to be too verbose when typing posts. However, this one is long and needs some explanation. Before I begin, I want to thank...
