3. Was written up ! I am so upset is there any hope to ever be a RN?

   Rnstudent2011 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

   I don't find it hard to believe, I find it scary that you would consider doing this type of work while trying to hide the mental state that you are in. You admit that you have health issues and that you have low vision, that your not able to see enou...

    Hmmm Not really sure where you got the 174 from unless they changed that within the past month but I believe the most for the 2012 year will be 79 if your talking about a traditional program. You may want to check it again and remember you only get 1...
