  6. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    37changes replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    So where are you going with this? Because I'm agreeing with you. You should not have to be subjected to other people's smoke. There is not much we can do about patients who come in, and...

  8. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    37changes replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    37changes replied to mom2twins9909's topic in General Students

    Well, I think there are different interpretations of "excited". I knew I was going to make it into my program because I worked my ass off to get a top score. So when I got the acceptance letter, it...

  21. How to confront a disrespectful professor

    37changes replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    I'm still in nursing school -- and only my second semester. So I'd say I'm not desensitized. I saw nothing in the OP about yelling or cursing... because it isn't there. What I do see is that OP...

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    All A's in prerequisites is good, but taking TEAS two times and not scoring proficient indicates a problem somewhere along the line. How much, how long, how hard did you study for TEAS? Maybe the...
