    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure they will "get over it" they have already chosen to accept it and keep the baby, but people are allowed to be upset or angry and what not, feelings aren't like light bulbs, they don't flick...

    States Who Have Banned HESI

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    My school had a 100% pass rate the last few semesters in a row and that is WITHOUT requiring the HESI and not counting our NLN scores against us or our grades, so they must be doing something

    Tubal Ligation Failure

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    She shouldn't feel bad about being upset. She took precautions to not have this happen, she was happy with the 4 kids she had and didn't want any more. This is shocking thing to face when you thought...
