    strawberryluv replied to kelkel587's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know. It really depends on the person. I don't have a knack for science and math either. I am more of an English/History type person but when I took my first science course with the...

    Pre-med or Nursing?I'd like 2 be a doctor but know being a nurse is more realistic.

    strawberryluv replied to pianomaninnyc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should just be a nurse. Way less debt and way less time. If you're going to go the doctor route you will be spending a significant less amount of time with your children then you would...

    Am i competitive?

    strawberryluv replied to soccergrl54's topic in General Students

    Uh...I think you're competitive enough to go to those schools. But why not consider a school that is in your area? It will be cheaper since you don't have to dorm and you learn the same things those...

    Why do you want to be "JUST" a nurse?

    strawberryluv replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students
