    Absolutely13 replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. How do my chances look

    Absolutely13 replied to doodoobutter's topic in General Nursing

    Eek! Out of a sense of obligation, the CC route may be the most difficult. Cut-throat city. As odd as it sounds, that biology degree may be a noose. You will get points for the bachelors, but get...

    Absolutely13 replied to One Flew Over's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely13 replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a fan of solid anything. Print tops should be for Peds/ Psych/ LTC and that's about it. The calming effect of little zebras and elephants loses points with normal, thinking adults. Actually, it...
