    Is it really that hard?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to EbonyBorn2Succeed's topic in General Students

    I haven't had any previous experience outside of Patient experience. I did just go through a really close call in one of my classes, but it had nothing to do with the class being to hard. It was stuff...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

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

    I am in school currently and in class we were told it's up to you. That as long as the skin was in tact we didn't need to be concerned and it is about personal preference. Our instructor said she...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to tag2007's topic in General Students
