   redalert7777 replied to KateRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on getting accepted!! For me personally, the social life really had to take a back seat, which is very difficult for some to accept at first. But you definitely have to keep your priorities straight, otherwise your grades will show it. I ...
