    Nightbloom replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nightbloom replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

  7. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    Nightbloom replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think I am also going to have to lower the weight loss goal if the deadline is 9/1... I don't believe I will lose 72 pounds by then. I think 40 pounds would be a good goal if I can stick with the...

    Nightbloom replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Should I take A&P 1 Over?

    Nightbloom replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think it depends on how competitive entrance to the nursing program you're trying to get into is, if there is a test to get into the program and what that score is, along with what kind of...

  11. Knowing what you know now about nursing, what other career would you have chosen?

    Nightbloom replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    Nightbloom replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  14. Will I even Get In?

    Nightbloom replied to ChrisAHF's topic in General Nursing

    Nightbloom replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Nightbloom replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

    Nightbloom replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing
