  1. Should nursing programs be extended?

    HelloWish replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Unless hospitals develop hospital based nursing programs like the previous poster stated, then I don't think extending education in a brick and mortar school will help much. Nursing students don't...

  2. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    HelloWish replied to crc2015's topic in General Students
