    central MS medical center

    manna replied to gwapo's topic in General Nursing

    Someone in my class did an externship at that hospital last summer and said they had some serious staffing problems. Maybe they have begun to resolve by now. One can only hope. Best of luck!

    Hinds CC LPN-RN bridge program

    manna replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess if it says you are accepted and not waitlisted, that you are actually accepted and they do take at least 45 students. Why not simply call the school and ask for clarification?

    Chemisty and statistics

    manna replied to cajrio's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I hated every minute of statistics, but I took it in the notoriously most difficult semester of my nursing classes. I ended up with a C. I should probably retake that one,

    manna replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    Chiynadol - I would imagine that the cost of living here is much less than in Philly. Things here are pretty cheap, compared to the NE!

    ER nurses having fun onver here

    manna replied to PoohGirl's topic in General Nursing
