What a great article! As a Black nurse, even I have difficulty assessing some clients because my education lacked the diversity of the patient population I see. Thank you!

It’s absurd to believe that people with chronic issues absolutely cannot enter nursing. Should nurses who develop diseases after entering the position get out?? I researched the hell out of nursing as I was making it a second career. My research (usi...

How many classes do you have remaining? Have you taken your TEAS yet? I applied in winter 2017 but I still had 3 classes to complete. I took my TEAS in March of 2017, spent the rest of 2017 and part of this year completing my classes with a strong GP...
I just don't understand how you can support racism as the reason for dismissal. I fully agree that the "Black tax" exists and the medical field in general is overwhelmingly biased but she offered not one piece of information that would get me on her ...

I absolutely love Portage because of the self pacing aspect but also because the labs are awesome! It's annoying to be in a brick & mortar college and randomly stuck with students who are no better at dissection or labs than I was! I think they n...
