  9. Just starting and already stressed out about admission....

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

    Hi K, Every school is different as far as admissions goes so your best bet is to talk to your academic advisors and other students. I think if you worry too much about getting in and don't at least...

  14. LPN be a CNA? Shower Naked? Nurse in Community?

    Jilaweez replied to JBirdAngel's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't think you would be able to provide care to just anyone off the streets without risking your license. That's why nursing involves so much paper work....everything has to be documented to...

    Jilaweez replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry Jamie-Sue..you'll feel better once it's over. It is so much pressure it can really be a downer but you'll be fine I'm sure...keep us

  20. Ratemyprofessors.com?

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

    I have found most of the ratings to be truthful as well. I wish they weren't because the teacher I have this upcoming semester was rated poorly. Unfortunately it's the only class that fits into my...
