    Jilaweez replied to mkhs08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. nursing(RN or BSN) school in IL that has a high acceptance rate

    Jilaweez replied to arevalo's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Jilaweez replied to NoviceRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Decisions, decisions.

    Jilaweez replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. I'm so stinking frustrated..........vent long

    Jilaweez replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you are just a little stressed out over making a major life change. Just take it one day at a time and cut corners wherever possible. Don't let your friend make you feel pressured...

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