In a rather large city in TN, a news program featured interviews of people standing for hours in a line to get their utility bill paid by a government program. On the other side of the street a temp...
You are exactly right and your statement supports my point. Any freebie to ANYONE is something working people, rich, middle class, or poor must pay for. Big corporate companies are guilty. GM is a...

Go for the ADN at the college who will consider your circumstances of the past. Then, get your BSN asap, online, whatever. My institution will hardly interview ADN's, and do not pay them...
