I received a scholarship when I was in nursing school at 41. It was from HCA and did not have any strings attached. It paid for tuition for one semester (plus a little left over). I was not eligible for many because I already had a degree. You might ...

Well, I've talked to everyone on up to the superintendent. Parents will now be notified if a student passes out (this was apparently not previously the case!). And they'll put a warning on the permission slip that a "graphic" film will be shown. So ...

Well, I can't say that I'm 20/20 either since presbyopia set in. I see well enough to draw up meds in a syringe, evaluate rashes and wounds, but I know I'd never be able to see lice without a magnifying glass, much less pick them out of anyone's hair...

The school sent a notice about a "health assembly" -- nothing about the film or really what the subject matter was... This school district just does not seem to think things through very well. And it surprised me that they have no policy of notifyin...

I didn't go to nursing school until I was 40. In fact, I was determined to NEVER be a nurse (too many in the family!). :) So, here I am, a nurse. How did I know I'd be good at it? Well, I know there are some areas that just don't suit me. I would ne...
The opposite of helping people could be hurting people. Crime? War? Or maybe it's prevention of healing? Disease? (I liked Gwenith's ideas...that would be a fun paper!)

If it is a requirement for admission, then the school needs to stick with that. ACTs can be retaken...or the student can go to a school which does not require the ACT...or the student can go the LPN route and later bridge to an RN. If requirements ar...
