  6. Let go from orientation

    nrsyann replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    nrsyann replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

  9. University Texas at Arlington vs Grand Canyon University?

    nrsyann replied to ashleychaye's topic in School, College Programs

  12. I am currently in the RN-BSN program

    nrsyann replied to centered-rn's topic in School, College Programs

    nrsyann replied to Morganalefey's topic in General Nursing

    nrsyann replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you! I'm off orientation in 4 weeks and I'm terrified. I feel like there is now way I can get this done, but what other choice do I have but to keep plugging away? There are a good number...
