6. Yes I Would Recommend Nursing!

   Lee-Lee replied to jalvino1's topic in Career Support

   To be fair, everyone needs to vent and I'd imagine this might become a comfortable place to do it. I love the job I have now (more or less) and I have to vent plenty about it. Doesn't mean I hate it. Watch, in a few years we will be the "negative nur...

    Lee-Lee replied to echinacea's topic in New York

    I have just submitted my application to Lehman for my pre-reqs. I want to apply to the nursing program there as well. One of my bigger reasons for choosing Lehman was the fact that if offered child care at night and on weekends so I could take my pre...
