    Apparently, 12 year olds do engage in sexual activities and become pregnant. It's odd to hear about it in your community, even though you do know that it happens. Sad

    cracklingkraken replied to reen5's topic in General Students

    Any tips for a shy, timid nursing student?

    cracklingkraken replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in General Students

    I'm of a similar disposition. I'm quiet and not a chatter, but I tend to open up with people over time. Make sure you communicate to your CI what's going on with your pt, and also let your nurse know....

    cracklingkraken replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing
