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

    I have no feedback because we don't even have to report any medications we are on to our program. But just wanted to say I hope everything is OK and keep us updated. Maybe they just want to make sure...

    End of the semester laziness

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

    Exactly, Nursing school seems like what I imagine dog years would be like. For every 1 year it's 7 years. We are crammed with so much information in such a short amount of time that it goes by so...

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