   Bpeaceful2All replied to Bpeaceful2All's topic in Virginia

   You will hear many nursing students and faculty say that the pre-req are nothing like nursing courses and it is true. Nursing is completely different from all the classes I have ever taken. I'm 38 yrs old with a prior bachelors degree and career trai...

    are we in the same lab? lol I feel your pain and frustration. It really does sound like we have the same lab and if so, the reason we had 3 instructors is because "Mrs P" resigned and "Mrs B" is the replacement. I don't if we'll still have "Mrs S...
