   briecker replied to jaelpn's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much for the story, I too have had such moments with "my people". I have often prayed for the wisdom to know the right thing to say when those times come. Remembering that just because this is a job for me, doesn't mean that this partic...

   Wow! Best of luck. I'm taking A&P1/Lab and Health Care Ethics. I wanted to keep my schedule as simple as possible so I could focus on my sciences and get the best grades that I can.
