  12. Failed nursing student

    I agree with the above posts. Don't give up. Just look at this as a bump in the road. Something similar happened to me in my third semester of ADN school as well and I was back in my classes the...

  19. Colon therapy and enemas.

    Adrianurse, why would we lose our licenses as nurses if we did colon hydrotherapy? I am not informed about any of this. I know of a woman who practices this, and her clients are from a varied social...
