    shelbias replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    shelbias replied to WDW4ever's topic in General Students

    You will do better than you think you will. Went through the same emotions as you are now. Just get in the "nurse" mindset when you step out into the unit with your uniform and it will work out just...

    shelbias replied to lainith's topic in General Students

    FAFSA will require your parent/s' income tax until you're 23. This is because for other purposes (such as medical insurance), you can still be claimed as a dependent by your parents up to age 23...
