  5. Management of Marijuana Withdrawal

    thinwildmercury replied to TriniStudentNurse's topic in General Students

  6. Is this too many classes???

    thinwildmercury replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    intro classes like those are usually not very difficult. professors don't expect a lot (this is just in my personal experience) so i think you should be fine to add another 100 level class

  9. SFSU Nursing or CSU Sacramento Nursing

    thinwildmercury replied to gerrafe's topic in General Nursing

    I go to SFSU right now (pre-nursing)-it's nothing to rave about. I've heard great things about Sac State's program. They are both extremely competitive so I think it comes down to what city you want...

  14. Were their any teen moms here?? Re: NS project

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

    I'm not a teen mom but I know plenty (who doesn't?) and my mom and grandmas were all teen moms. I think teaching about resources is SO very important. Another thing is to not give in to your child...

  19. Order/Combination of classes

    thinwildmercury replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Low GPA

    thinwildmercury replied to Lauren311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
