    jamiemd replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I love the advice and it was uplifting to hear so many of you started into your nursing careers later in life. I'm only 25, but I'm an old soul and an overachiever, so I keep feeling like I'm behind in life and need to work faster! lol. Thanks fo...
