9. 2 Acceptance Lttrs...Now what? Private vs. Community college Help...

   kittykatty replied to BlessedMom4's topic in Tennessee

   Community College--frankly I think they are better than the university--at least in my area they are highly regarded. Graduate debt free--get a job in hospital and let them pay for your BSN--it is a no-brainer.

    I know this may sound weird but the few times that I have been in that situation (clique barrier) I either ignored it entirely or made a point to purposefully interject myself into situations so they would have to deal with me. That works only if you...

    kittykatty replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Here, Mr. Jones. Put your penis in the duck." OMG!! Do you know if you were in France and said that they would think you were talking literally--it is quite the fashion with the elites there (like Hollywood directors)--can anyone say Roman Polanski...
