Two of my nursing competencies I failed on the first go and passed them on the redo. It honestly didn’t upset me, I just made sure to prepare more for the second time. Pretty much every student I...

My understanding was not that this person has lied... they just now got accepted to nursing school and the school is now asking for medical information and they are trying to determine if it will be...
One more note...they'll open the pods (schedules) up via sign up genius on a given date and time (ours was in the evening). FYI you have to be on right when they say to get on...I signed up at 8:00...
We weren't able to choose schedules until about 4 weeks before class started. As for holidays, we follow the General GW academic calendar so you can look that up online to see when you'll be off. The...
Yep, for the blue scrub set you'll use for lab and the khaki bottoms you can purchase anywhere and have any style basically. For the red and blue shirt for clinicals you'll order those through...
