  3. Do you think it is too late to go into nursing?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to ms.futureRN86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Can I handle nursing?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to singlemom33's topic in General Nursing

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to GreenGlassCastle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Notice I said "most likely".....I didn't say it was a bad idea. I happen to like Psych and am 1 course short of a Psych minor right now. It won't hurt to take the classes, but I don't think it gives...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to onetwothree's topic in General Nursing
