10. What makes NS so hard?

    lillyofthevalley replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I dont know if i would use the word "hard". Although it seems that two years is enough to learn all the information that you need to know, it really isnt. So they give you SOOO much information, and although its interesting, you're brain is on "overl...

    lillyofthevalley replied to akijitsu's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I understand what youre saying. I would hate for you to get accepted in a nursing school, and be subject the "weed-out" epidemic that goes on in Texas nursing schools. I work for a college so its easier for me to get the "down-low", sort of speak, on...
