  13. First week- will I die of boredom?

    AliNajaCat replied to gypsierose's topic in General Students

    So you say. So what's your rationale for doing nursing as you do? How do you think about nursing and how you fit into it? Is it perhaps the holistic model, in which we look at "the human being,...

    AliNajaCat replied to cristielf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Nursing Calculations

    AliNajaCat replied to Cmmc911's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
