   Ashtae220 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I recently realized that I would love to be a midwife one day and so I'm trying to apply into a Nursing program. I had a bad semester back in 2006 when I first went to college which ended up with me being put on academic suspension (it was pretty bad...
