  2. What is wrong with me????

    studentdeb replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Nursing Career

    First of all I am not a nurse nor a nursing student any longer, but I know exactly what you are talking about. I went round and round with my decision to go or not to go to nursing school. I took...

    studentdeb replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

  10. Weekend and holiday work question

    studentdeb replied to studentdeb's topic in General Nursing
