    MiladyMalarkey replied to balld899's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Opinion: Is Nursing considered STEM Why or Why Not?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Migrating's topic in General Students

    My opinion is nursing is STEM based, but there is also an art and social work-like aspect to it. I could see the argument from either side really. But, I see it more as our foundation is STEM based...

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Nursing school has pushed me to the edge. Anyone else?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Nursing school suck sometimes. It is teaching you a life lesson in humility and what to expect in the real world. I'm not putting you down. I don't think being type A is a bad thing, but, if you...

    Do I have time to take 'fun' classes when in nursing school?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to PresentPerfect's topic in General Students

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Piper98's topic in General Students
