    Career2_BSN replied to kplp1111's topic in General Students

    Career2_BSN replied to GamerGal's topic in California Nursing

    Career2_BSN replied to Cackalacky's topic in School

    O..M..G.. A $5 bottle of Rid, used twice, a week apart, works wonders. As a parent with 3 kids, all in public school, we get Pink Eye and Lice notices at least once a year. You know what I do...

    Career2_BSN replied to Cackalacky's topic in School

  17. Parents that are nurses

    Career2_BSN replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    She may have a complete about-face after some much needed sleep and this whole thing will be a non-issue. If not....side with her. She knows, just as well as anyone, that the lawyers get in the...

  18. Which area of nursing is fit for me?

    Career2_BSN replied to PB0107's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really dislike the question "What kind of nurse do you want to be?" My answer "A good one". What they really mean, is what specialty? I never know how to answer that because I don't know what I...

  22. PRE-NURSING HELP.

    Career2_BSN replied to _nursetobe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I concur with RunBabyRun 100%!! Why pay more than double for a class (and books) when you can get an excellent education at a JC? JCs have smaller class sizes which means not only are you saving on...
