Hi guys, it's been awhile since I've written, this is off the beaten path but I'm not going into nursing. I had a major change of heart when I did just 2 hrs. of volunteer work in Tyler at a hospital. Hence, I will remain in retail until I find my n...

Happy New Year Guys. I"m applying to TJC near Dallas to the LVN and RN --ADN program. IN the fall if I"m accepted only to LVN , should I go that route thru the 'back' door? It would give me exposure at a slower pace perhaps and then I could work as a...

In Anatomy and Physiology 2, we practiced a little with the manual blood pressure cuff. I could not tell the difference between systole and diastole. I t made me a nervous wreck. God, if that is hard I can't imagine what Iv's will be like and other m...
