I started taking the "easier" classes like sociology and nutrition and if both work out fine, I should be able to get A for both (finishing in May). In this way, I would be able to get myself motivated and pick up my momentum / inertia to continue wi...

I started taking cna and pre-reqs early this year. Just attended an LVN interview and I think I might continue to take my pre-reqs for the RN prog. Pressure is on me to get all As or Bs before I am qualified to apply for a post ASN prog. All in all i...

Your story moved me to tears. It is really unbelievable that date rape is so rampant here. I learned this thru allnurses.com. It is just not safe to simply trust any man we know. We can never tell. I have lived in this country for over 2 years no...
