2. Pet Nurse?!

   newstudent2010 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

   - I never said it was easy. I'm sure it is very hard and stressful and alot of information. I just don't think the two should be compared. That's all. I don't compare myself to a Vet Tech program student. I admire Vet Techs..I couldn't do it! I love ...

6. How do you let a friend know a nursing position isn't what she thinks it is?

   newstudent2010 replied to LRyder's topic in General Students

   Just tell her that you love her and are looking out for her. I had a friend who was in a similar situation and I just told her the truth. Its hard but she needs to know this stuff if she doesnt know it already. Tell her to do some more research also ...
