1. True or False Advice

   mukhorty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   At a recent visit with my chiropractor, I mentioned I've started the pre-reqs for nursing school. Her advice to me was to not worry about how much I retain, just *get the grade* because my real schooling will not begin until I'm actually in nursing s...

    I know a hospice nurse who's been thinking of doing that for years! She was planning on making it much more bold though. I like how this woman did it. Food for thought, for sure.

    mukhorty posted a topic in Pennsylvania

15. BSN or RN

    mukhorty replied to ibmaryann's topic in Pre-Nursing
