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

  8. My Back Up Plan aka "Plan B" lol

    Jilaweez replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is good to have a "plan B". At least you know if you don't make it you have a backup plan that isn't half bad. I used plan B while starting a family. It has paid off. I am starting my BSN...

    Jilaweez replied to natkoz82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Jilaweez replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jilaweez replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
