3. Feeling discouraged

   dportal2006 replied to lorias's topic in General Nursing

   I would seriously consider leaving this place. You are putting your license at risk. It is simply not worth it. Start applying for local hospitals and get the first opportunity you can. Hospitals are usually more responsible in the way they train the...

   Maybe get a nanny that can pick up the kids after school on those specific days and take care of the. for a few hour? In this economy there are always people looking to supplement their salaries with outside gigs. You should be able to find someone t...

9. MDC Nursing Fall 2017

   dportal2006 replied to j.lauren's topic in School Programs

   I am in my third semester. It is really up to you. I am guessing if you do decide to take both classes on the same day that means you would have an extra day off. If I remember correctly pharmacology only meets once a week. That extra day of not havi...

14. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    dportal2006 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Almost nobody reads the complete full assignments given. By the time you finish reading the chapter you have forgotten half of what you read. It is better if you go to class, see what the teacher emphasized on each chapter and then go an elavorate a ...
