    bitter_betsy replied to Juliemm75's topic in General Students

  18. Retaking courses...? PLEASE say it ain't so

    bitter_betsy replied to ethanstarkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above. If you are already burnt out - stop for a while. Nursing school isn't going to make things any better from a burn out stand

    bitter_betsy replied to MomOfFive2018's topic in General Students
