    Shawn91111 replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    Shawn91111 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

  6. Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

    Shawn91111 replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

  14. Nursing Student Friendliness Versus Friendliness of Students in other Majors.

    Shawn91111 replied to Healthnutiam's topic in General Students
