  1. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    pinkiepie_RN replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    This may be a silly question, but have you asked your therapist for assistance with writing the letter and support regarding this situation? I know when I had to miss a couple of weeks of school due...

  2. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    pinkiepie_RN replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    Ooof. I don't know if anyone here is qualified to answer a question like that. I think it depends on if there are other students that are requesting to be re-admitted, how much space is available in...

  6. How to sell yourself on a med/surg interview

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. How to sell yourself on a med/surg interview

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. I am scared of pathophisiology

    pinkiepie_RN replied to goodperson's topic in General Students

    pinkiepie_RN replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

  17. Might have to quit my job! Need advice

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students
