    dsczephyr replied to nekhismom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a great thread and one I wanted to share in as well. I knew when I went to nursing school I wanted to do forensic nursing. I had an AS in Criminal Justice and ten years as an EMT and thought...

  3. Am I cut out for nursing?

  8. Tests during Orientation???

    dsczephyr replied to rosemadder's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. I hate microbiology

    dsczephyr replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    When I took Micro I took an instant dislike to the subject matter - and it was hard. I also thought it was ruining my 4.0 GPA (even though I did get an "A" at the very end) and felt that much of what...
