   shorty24 replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   first of all I think going to school even if you drop out is never a waste there is always something to learn from, whether you learn what you shouldn't do, what you should do, or what you want to change. I also know that explaining this to family is...

   shorty24 replied to andr3w's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have all As in everything else it probably won't matter too much. Usually english doesn't carry as much weight as a science class. most schools I know of calculate an overall GPA and then a seperate science GPA. Of course a C in a science woul...

    I'm planning on trying to become an RNFA and was looking into how to do it. From what I gather you have to have 2 yrs. OR experience and then go to class or do online classes for it. It doesn't seem that complicated to get it. Am I missing something ...

    Hi everyone, I'm about to graduate in December with my ADN and am strongly leaning towards the OR. I'm curious as to how hard or how much work is involved in getting through an OR internship as a new GN, seeing as though they are usually 6-9months ...
