  14. Nursing Student Peers Who Want to Mooch

    nlitened replied to katiejames7878's topic in General Students

    nlitened replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    nlitened replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    I am a third semester student and still don't see the point in them either. We see them as busy work, and really don't learn much from doing them. We do them just to get them done. Our care plans...
