   i just wonder about your statement,"diversity can be a good thing, it can also be a bad thing when it goes too far" can you clarify what you mean by this? i don't see how diversity can be bad, after all that is what the united states is about. i love...

    sorry to sound like a broken record. maybe instead of looking for puerto ricans i should be inviting anyone that is or feels like a minority in their nursing program. no discrimination here!

15. Off to a bad start in NS-Sorry for whining.

    Mytime2shine replied to Mytime2shine's topic in General Students

    I forgot to mention that the reason why I say that this is my last chance at college is because I changed my major from sonography to nursing this year. The school I attend is very expensive and I just don't want to waste anymore time or money.
