   After I'm done with my last 2 finals, I'm gonna pack up and move out of the dorms for the last time, and then I'm going to paint my toenails (they look terrible!), buy Christmas gifts, and work work work until next semester.

   myrtledturtle replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

   I agree, and I don't even live in Florida. I live in southwest Georgia, and almost every hurricane has come through this area. Now they're looking at Jeanne to see how bad she's gonna be for us. We've missed 3 days of school, and the 2 that have come...

   myrtledturtle posted a topic in General Students

   I start clinicals this semester like many of you (eeek!!), and for those of you who have already experienced clinicals, I was wondering what the patients think of student nurses. I can imagine that some will be very apprehensive of having a student d...

10. How are all of you paying for school?

    myrtledturtle replied to Paleobug's topic in General Students

    I did pretty well in high school, so I applied for every applicable scholarship that my college had. I ended up getting 3, in addition to HOPE, so I've been *extremely* lucky that I've been able to make my own way through school. This school year wil...
