   FLAgal14 replied to NWLady's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   FLAgal14 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

10. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    FLAgal14 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top 2 interests are L&D and NICU. But I haven't started school yet or clinicals, so you never know what will happen - I'm going to try to keep an open mind on all the clinical rotations

    I have a good friend who is now in a PhD clinical psychology program. You really need to research these programs - she doesn't have to pay for hers. Instead they give her a $14,000 stipend a year -...
