  1. Hiya everyone. Just wanting to check in and see if there is anyone else out there currently attending Grayson. I hear rumors all the time and just wondered if I anyone knew what the cutoff for the...
  2. Microbiology and Chemistry

    I would take them both together with no hesistation. Micro has been sooooo easy. I have taken Chem and it was easy too. In my micro class Chem was not a pre-req and honestly there was not much chem...

  8. Would you turn family into CPS???

    Thank you all for you support. When my husband got home from work last night he told me that he did not tell his mother what I said. What he told her is that both he and I have concerns and that we...
  9. Would you turn family into CPS???

  11. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    Thank you for explaining why it is that you might call a CNA into a room to clean a patient. You are busy!!! I think alot of CNA's might not get that and just think you are lazy when that is not the...
  12. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    I agree with you. A CNA that thinks that way is definitely way off course. There is so much more that a nurse does and the stress of knowing a life is in your hands...oh my! But being a CNA is hard...

  15. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    First off here in Texas there is no contract that is signed when you work a job. This is a right to work state and there is absolutely no contract involved. And why would you think it has to be...

    I know it all depends on the student but I just wanted to hear what everyone thinks about taking both Patho and Pharm together in the same semester? Here is my situation. I am finishing up Micro and...
  21. Retaking Classes With Bad Grades

    I would not advise doing this because it can get you kicked out if they find about it. And they can find out if you attended anywhere else. How, well when you applied to the school you are at now you...
