   Juststartingout replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   hehe, I was a horrible student in High School (graduated '90), but it doesn't affect anything anywhere, thank the Lord. I can't even recall my GPA, I may not have ever bothered to even LOOK! As, Bs, Cs, Ds! I was all over the place depending on mood/...

11. Nursing School vs. Rad Tech school

    Juststartingout replied to RN_2007's topic in Radiology

    that's pretty good! sorry to hear about the experience at the rad school though! I don't think any nursing occupation should be looked down upon, as each has it's own specialty, and work just as hard. and as far as 'butt wiping nurses' goes...well, b...

15. Why do you Nurse in the Burn unit ?

    Juststartingout replied to EENstudent's topic in Burn

    My opinion may not count here since I'm not a nurse yet, but in the future if I have a chance to work in a Burn unit I most definitely would take it on. You see, my daughter, at the young of barely 7, was burned and the care she received in the Unit ...
