  11. Headed to South Alabama for Summer Term

  22. why did you decide this career field?

    A passion for the inner-workings of the body and a desire to help people. I believe that's all you need. Patience, time management, high tolerance for dealing with BS.. I think those can be learned...
  23. Here's some good news. Although it may not seem like it, the image of nurses truly is changing. Being a 19yr old college student, when I decided on nursing, there was no real change in attitude among...
  24. 4 Months before starting nursing school, what would you have done?

    I can't say from experience as I'm just now applying for upper division bsn, but after posing the same question to nurses I know, I was told to really study up on anatomy and medical
