I am currently a junior in med-surg and I have loved nursing up to this point. Yes all of my previous nursing classes have been demanding, but I feel I am at my breaking point. This new semester has...
I am currently in nursing school right now and have been talking with an air force recruiter about joining when I finish next year. My husband is currently in the military too but he is in the army. I...
