    pinksnowflakes replied to BlueScarlet97's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in my first semester of NIU's program. I'm 20 years old, and many of my friends are 19. I would say that the instructors don't try and intimate us. We have a wide range of ages (from age 19 to 50), and our maturity is what we are judged...
