Well, excuse me for offending you. But it kind of offends me when people complain about having to work an extra shift so that they can be comfortable enough to buy a fancy car, buy clothes, take...
So what would you be doing if you weren't a nurse? If 20-27 an hour is so bad try making 10-12 an hour and supporting your kids, even a shift or 2 of overtime doesn't get you enough to pay all of the...

Hi! I am currently taking my pre and co requisite courses for the nursing program and am hoping to be able to join the program by next fall with all of the other classes out of the way. I've been...
