9. A few more questions! (ADN vs BSN and... Pre-Req's)

   Brinley replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Some of the classes you are reffering to can be taken in conjunction with your nursing rotation. That's why it's a 2 year program. Most students where I go complete all of the classes you are referring to and then some b/c of the wait lists, but mo...

15. How Many is Too Many

    Brinley replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the biggest problem with having that many children is that the older ones don't get to be kids. I work with a woman who was the oldest of 8, bye the age of 9 she was doing dishes, ironing, and changing diapers.. while she has gotten over bein...
