    adn vs bsn

    manna replied to lab2004's topic in Nursing Career

    manna replied to Pronurse's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing and body piercings

    manna replied to Pronurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, they have the right to enact whatever policies they see fit. Doesn't mean that the people who oppose them have to work there. I personally would love to have a facial piercing, but my...

    manna replied to ninas's topic in General Nursing

    What does your post name reflect about you?

    manna replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My nick both offline and on is manna - a shortened version of my "real" name. My brother is 11 years my senior, and when I was born he figured I was far too small for such a long name, and promptly...

    manna replied to manna's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I'll check with them - that's where my brother works. :) I haven't contacted any hospitals re: scholarships yet, I'm still (IMPATIENTLY) waiting on an acceptance/rejection letter.

    Any Mississippi folks out there who are in school at or applying to the one of the nursing programs at the "W"? Any Mississippi nurses out there have any input about the "W" nursing program at all?...

    Does your school have an on-site daycare center? Check with your local DHS - some states/areas offer daycare assistance programs. There are lots of scholarships out there, have you researched that...

    manna replied to tamrnmomof4's topic in Ob/Gyn
