    I saw that also, but realized quickly that she must have made a typo. I agree though, if you truly HATE the field.....do something else. Which is why I suggested working with her previous degree. IDK....

  12. I hate nursing

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    I think that the purpose of this thread was to prove to the OP that an "A" average in nursing school is difficult, but definitely possible. I don't get the bragging vibe at
