    la_chica_suerte85 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    If you're overwhelmed already then you're doing it right. It will get easier - for a bit. Then things will change and you'll have to adapt. You're going to get really good at this and nothing will...

    Gay student attending Christian Nursing school?

    la_chica_suerte85 replied to gpark32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing Students: Do what works best for YOU (long)
