   salr replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

   salr replied to Corey Narry's topic in International

   I appreciate you for speaking your mind on this subject. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I have had my share of sarcasms on my accent. They didnt know I know more languages than them. I studied British English since 7 y/o; my parents didnt s...

   salr replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

   I don't care whether other people work hard to get good grades or not. What I am concerned is myself getting as many A's as possible as I hope that will give me an edge to get into the nursing program as it is very competitive nowadays. Age is not on...

    salr replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    This is the question I always asked myself, though I already knew the answers. Truly an unfortunate situation. That is the reason why I feel the pressure and the urgency to finish all my pre-requisites asap with as many A's as possibly can. I am in m...

    salr replied to Corey Narry's topic in International

    The post by Alexk49 was well said about "foreign nurses". Being a "foreigner" I thought I give my two cents worth of opinion. I applause the nursing profession in this country; the level of academic qualification and training is truly high. I was tru...
