  1. Pre Nursing Jobs?

    txnursingqt replied to Screen name's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that several of the girls in my pre-req classes work as unit secretaries. Now granted they had office experience but no medical experience. You can maybe try that route. I am thinking about...

    txnursingqt replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    txnursingqt replied to f1ourish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Pain is subjective?

    txnursingqt replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    txnursingqt replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I too know exactly what you mean. And I definitely understand about having to prove you are in it for real this time to your husband. I have been going through that myself. I have gone back and...

    txnursingqt replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    You said that the grandmother is the "primary caregiver", is she is also the legal guardian? If so then she can sign, if not then the parents need to sign. Pretty simple and isn't due to culture but...

    txnursingqt replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    txnursingqt replied to princesasabia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school none of the classes are pre-reqs for the other and you can take them all together if you want, so I do understand being allowed to do that. But would I? I don't think so. Now I am...

    txnursingqt replied to cashe05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    txnursingqt replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how it will be at your school but for me buying the coloring book would be a waste because we get awesome drawing to color from our professor. I too like making my own flashcards. And I...
