    tfleuter replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tfleuter replied to lesnict25's topic in General Students

    If financial aid is not availabe, the only other thing I can suggest is to find another job with hours that will work. It might mean working some night shifts and/or weekends, but if you want it bad...

  11. HESI is Wrong ! Let's File Suit

    tfleuter replied to gasguy1960's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Why so Interested????

    tfleuter replied to Screen name's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Or perhaps they realize they won't really know what they want to do until they are out in the field working as a nurse. Why should anyone have to pin down what they will be doing before even...

    tfleuter replied to georgeoftheforge's topic in General Nursing

  18. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    tfleuter replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

    tfleuter replied to mesa14's topic in General Students

  20. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    tfleuter replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

  21. VENT: Depressed and Discouraged...Wasn't Accepted

    tfleuter replied to Dottie, RN's topic in General Students

    If you want to be an RN, then i would stop entertaining the idea of going surgical/x-ray tech route. I'm guessing the only reasons that these options appeal to you is b/c they offer quick, short term...

  22. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    tfleuter replied to mesa14's topic in General Students

    tfleuter replied to gasguy1960's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's EXACTLY my point! If someone isn't going to be able to pass these exams for whatever reason, better to dismiss them earlier in the program and save that person time and money Why is it worse...
