2. First day of nursing school! Anyone else?

   corizrf replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

   My first day is in the 22nd and I am very excited. I'm somewhat nervous but I guess that's what comes with not knowing what the program is gonna be like. Even more so pre-reqs were a drag and seemed to take so long... And the whole admission process ...

   corizrf replied to Lauraash's topic in General Students

   Great topic and I'm sorry that you have had this experience. It is a shame, but my hat is off to you. I'm an "experienced nursing student" myself. I start my program in a week. Your post has given me valuable knowledge on what NOT to be like. I'm and...
