   KittyKat19 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think I ever really changed my mind. I think, in a way, it was what I always wanted to do. There were just so many things in the way. I was definitely depressed at the time I flunked out. I joined the military during most of the time in b...

   I'll just chime in here since I'm going into one such program although it is only two years, straight through the summer. I hear the whole thing about not being ready, it was a real worry for me. Before I found out I didn't get into UCLA, I talked ...
