  2. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

  14. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    foreverLaur replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    The only housekeepers at the apartment complex are apartment staff, so they have access to everywhere. They just clean the hallways and such. True, $300 isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but...

  15. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    foreverLaur replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    Motorcycles aren't dangerous - the people on the road who don't see them are the danger. I would never own one. The thrill isn't worth the risk, IMO. A very close friend of mine was an extremely...

    foreverLaur replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck - I'm trying to go back to nursing school and my school gave me NOTHING. I make $27,000/yr and I filled out the FAFSA. My expected family contribution was $1,000 and I applied to 3 schools...
