  2. Hurley or Mclaren Hospital??

    I know this is old but I have clinical at Hurley and I enjoy it there. Most people have been very helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Clinical this semester is second shift and they won't let us walk out by ourselves but I haven't had any i...
  3. How much debt did you graduate with?

    I know that there have to be others out there with higher student loan debt than this. I applaud all of you that did it with no debt or with very little debt! I imagine it must have been incredibly difficult to do! Good for you! I know there are othe...
  4. Where do I apply?

    I looked at various programs for years while I worked on my prerequisites and made sure other things were in order. I ended up choosing a BSN program because there was no waitlist and with the waitlists the CC's here had, I'd actually finish my BSN b...

  12. Am I CRAZY to stay in school?

    I think you'd be crazy not to stay in school if this is what you truly want. Life is too short to give up on your dreams. Since it looks like money will not be a major concern, if you get further into it and find you no longer want to become a nurse,...
  13. I need some advice please... long

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and hope you find peace in whatever decision you make. As a mother myself, I know it can be agonizing (to put it mildly) to try to figure out what to do, when to do it, and weigh all the pros and cons. Goo...
