    A lot of these want you to have a license for that state. Anyone been successful at having them accept a license from a different state than where the college is located?

    Nursing Students and Substance Abuse

    the girl with the highest GPA in our nursing class was a stoner. There were times where i'd see her fighting just to stay awake. The entire class knew about her. I wonder were she is today and how things are for her. She was a very sweet person.
