   CanadaProud replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

   This is an interesting discussion.. I was wondering it myself. Two years ago I was in a program that was taking me no where (I was really unhappy with it), so I applied for a BScN program in Ontario. Within 2-3 months I was accepted into the two pr...

   CanadaProud replied to xokelly2's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad to see that you're so concerned about your dogs, but since it's a night shift and they'd be sleeping most of the time I think they would be fine at home by themselves. I don't think them needing to pee would be a problem either as I'm sure ...
