  2. Can bipolar disorder get in the way of recieving lnursing licensure?

    GGT1 replied to sironside's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My only question is... if you have not had an episode since you were 19, why did you stop taking your medications 5 months ago? Don't you think that helped you not have an episode? I'm not sure of...

  3. Group Homes- what is it like to work in them?

    GGT1 replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    That's probably a good idea chaoticdreams. These DD people need someone who really cares about their overall well being and not just a paycheck. They are often the rejects of society and are put in...

  4. Group Homes- what is it like to work in them?

    GGT1 replied to Chaoticdreams33's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    GGT1 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Students

    GGT1 replied to aellisrn10's topic in General Students

  10. Do you use your TEXT BOOK?

    GGT1 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Students

    GGT1 replied to penguinforlife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
