    Nurse SMS replied to GaMommy81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Repeating a course?

    Nurse SMS replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Repeating a course?

    Nurse SMS replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is just plain incorrect. Most schools WILL allow you retake a course, though some do limit how many times. Getting a higher grade will always make you more competitive as many consider only the...

    They do have it at night but the class runs from 5:30 PM to 11:30 PM and because CCCCD is not offering it at night, everyone from Collin as well as Dallas wanted in it. Between the time and the...

    Words of encouragement, please?

    Nurse SMS replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no comparing the self respect that grows from doing something you are intimidated by or frightened of. I put off getting my Associate's Degree for about 15 years due to being nervous about...

    Why did his nurses do this?

    Nurse SMS replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    I love all of your replies. Thank you so much. I don't think Joseph ever thought he was dying, until perhaps the day he was put on the vent. So most of his surliness just came from not getting to live...

    Nurse SMS replied to lilaznbabystar's topic in General Nursing

    Personal information such as needs for time off should be disclosed only after an actual job offer is made. Otherwise it looks like you are assuming too much. Asking how you did would have been better...
