    Journey_On replied to WSnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I live pretty close to campus, so it is a short bus ride or a 25 minute walk for me. Now the hospital where I do my clinicals is a different story - that is a 50 minute drive (2X a week this...

    Anybody else struggling with anorexia and bulimia?

    Journey_On replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    Journey_On replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    My underwear does not slide down, but my scrub bottoms do! I believe it's because my PDA weighs it down (I put it in my pants pocket, not the shirt one), and when I get a chance, I have to tie the...

    New to nursing -- advice, applied to accelerated BSN

    Journey_On replied to Cea1's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Cea, Your GPA is pretty good for accelerated BSN programs. I think USF requires a 3.0 or higher. There are budget cuts going on, so I think they are getting somewhat selective in their applicants....
